OPEL Solar, Inc. Enhances Solar Project for Aquarion Water Company
The Aquarion project is forecasted to produce approximately 43 MWh of energy per year, which is approximately 22% more energy than would be expected from the same panels in a fixed installation. The project will be used to offset the energy required to operate the Aquarion facility. The site will provide a demonstration site to Aquarion … Continue reading
Food waste leads to 6% of UK’s water footprint
Food thrown away by UK consumers represents six per cent of the nation’s water footprint, a new report has shown. Research by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap) and WWF has highlighted the environmental impact of food waste around the world.It found that it takes 6.2 billion cubic metres of water to produce 5.3 … Continue reading

Water bills set to rise
Household water bills are set to rise in 2011/12, Ofwat has announced.The water regulator said that on average, bills will increase 4.6 per cent in line with inflation. This equates to around £16 extra a year.“No one wants to see bills increasing, particular in tough economic times,” commented Ofwat chief executive Regina Finn.“When we set … Continue reading
Underwater ridges impact ocean’s flow of warm water; Findings to improve climate models
ScienceDaily (Feb. 4, 2011) — New discoveries on how underwater ridges impact the ocean’s circulation system will help improve climate projections.An underwater ridge can trap the flow of cold, dense water at the bottom of the ocean. Without the ridge, deepwater can flow freely and speed up the ocean circulation pattern, which generally increases the … Continue reading
First-ever global map of surface permeability informs water supply, climate modelling
ScienceDaily (Jan. 25, 2011) — University of British Columbia researchers have produced the first map of the world outlining the ease of fluid flow through the planet’s porous surface rocks and sediments.The maps and data, published January 21 in Geophysical Research Letters, could help improve water resource management and climate modelling, and eventually lead to … Continue reading
