Hydropedology – a growing focus
More LessHydropedology – the study of the interaction between soils and water – provides insights into interflow processes in the subsurface area between surface water and groundwater. The field helps to understand the flow drivers contributing to wetlands and water courses that may be impacted by the activities of the water licence holder. “By understanding the flow drivers, developers can make better decisions about which mitigation measures need to be in place for a project, highlighting which areas need to be protected to preserve the main feeder flows, and which areas can be developed,” explains Christie Terrell, senior scientist: Water Resources, SRK Consulting.

Reducing water costs for food and beverage
More LessAn estimated 14% more water will be required for agriculture and food production by 2030. With water scarcity becoming a more regular issue across large parts of Africa, avoiding a water crisis in the near future requires a smarter, holistic approach to water management across the value-adding chain of food production. “Optimising the costs of water in food production will be critical in ensuring overall costs of producing food remain in line with what consumers can afford,” explains Chris Braybrooke, GM: Marketing, Veolia Water Technologies.
