In this article, Anthony Bennett investigates the application of small scale desalination technologies for remote commercial, industrial, military, naval, marine and offshore applications. He examines the thermal and membrane technologies available and the sizes of equipment employed from portable systems to larger containerized or skid/frame mounted plant. 15 June 2010
The use of seawater for all of Gibraltar’s flushing needs is both economical and problematic. The Waterport pumping facility required a system which could cope with salt water corrosion and the heavy rag and solids in the wastewater. A solution was found which provides reliable service and brings significant cost-savings. 30 April 2010
Using a Troll 9500 water quality sonde and Rugged Reader from RS Hydro, a team of scientists from around the globe studied the effect of the aquatic environment on Mexican cave fish 18 December 2009
Peat bogs are unique ecosystems often completely undisturbed by human influences, and are by their very nature often remote and inaccessible. The impact of re-opened paleo channels on the Tregaron Peat Bog region in Wales is currently being monitored and assessed by scientists from Aberystwyth University. The remote location has made long term monitoring via spot sampling costly and inefficient and RS Hydro were approached to provide a solution. 24 November 2009
The development of the coastal environment is taken for granted in most of the developed world. In this article, we examine how managers can protect the fragile environment by looking at emission controls, and include an overview of current strategic management approaches which seek to combine water quality controls with wider marine environment protection goals. 09 October 2009

Working with Water spoke with David Waggonner, principal at Waggonner & Ball Architects, about the importance of integrating water into the city structure of New Orleans. Leading the rebuild of the water damaged city is a challenge – not only must lessons be learned from existing and temporary infrastructure and political failures, but successful processes elsewhere in the world must be integrated with the uniqueness of New Orleans. 12 May 2009
Norrie Hunter reports on how California is dealing with the problems of water shortage and seismic threats to the water infrastructure, by adopting measures to encourage a cultural shift in how west coast Americans regard and use their valuable water resources. 23 April 2009
The most important resource of all – water – is often difficult or expensive to extract, or not sited near to where it is needed. Anthony Bennett takes a looks at some techniques to assist the management of water and its extraction in the United Kingdom. 26 March 2009
Working with Water spoke with Ian Barbour, General Manager of Dow Water Solutions, about the important issues of water provision and quality in the world today – from the cost of providing clean water in India, to desalination in Australia. 25 March 2009
The Harnaschpolder wastewater treatment plant, based in the Netherlands and run by Veolia, is a great example of a modern filtration system with a look to the future. Filtration+Separation visited the plant to find out how it operates. 18 March 2009
How does the hydrological cycle – in all its varying scales – work? What are the threats to water budgets and water quality? In this article, we take a look at the impact of human use and how we can interact with the water cycle in a long term and sustainable way. 04 March 2009
Seawater pre-treatment is an integral part of every seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant, used to remove particulates, debris, micro-organisms, suspended solids and silt from the source seawater. But with conventional and membrane filtration to choose from, which is right for you? Nicolay Voutchkov compares the two options. 09 February 2009
