The Water and Environment research cluster is dedicated to addressing some of the world’s most critical environmental and public health challenges. Our research focuses on clean water and sanitation, decarbonisation of water services, sustainable environmental management, and building resilience against climate change in water infrastructure.
We explore innovative solutions in areas such as:
- Water and sanitation: Ensuring universal access to clean water and sanitation through advanced treatment processes and infrastructure.
- Decarbonisation: Developing low-carbon strategies for water and environmental services to reduce global environmental impact.
- Climate resilience: Creating resilient water systems that can withstand the challenges of climate change.
- Resource recovery: Extracting valuable energy and resources from waste, including water treatment by-products.
- Environmental sustainability: Promoting sustainable practices in the management and use of natural resources.
Our team brings together experts from diverse disciplines including environmental chemistry, microbiology, data science, hydraulic engineering, mathematical modelling, sensing, and informatics. This interdisciplinary approach allows us to create innovative, real-world solutions to environmental problems.
We work in close collaboration with organisations such as Scottish Water and academic and industry partners across the UK, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, India, Pakistan, the US, and Canada. Supported by significant funding from UKRI, RAEng, BBSRC, EU, and industry grants, we are committed to advancing the science of water management and environmental sustainability.
With state-of-the-art environmental laboratories and hydraulic facilities, the University of Glasgow offers a world-class environment for research and development in this vital field.
