Illegal water use: assessing the extent, drivers, and solutions in irrigated agriculture
Agriculture is the largest sectoral user of freshwater globally (UN, 2018). Yet, most countries do not monitor the amount of water used by farmers (Foster et al., 2020). Read more
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Water Infrastructure and Resilience (WIRe)
Globally, one in four cities is facing water stress, and the projected demand for water in 2050 is set to increase by 55%. Read more

Smart Distribution: Online monitoring of biological water quality parameters in full-scale water distribution networks
Join us in addressing the pressing challenges faced by Qatar's water distribution network through the innovative SMART-Distribution project. Read more
Solar Atmospheric Water Generation from air
1.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion cannot access clean water for at least one month of the year. Read more
An integrated hydro-epidemiological approach to prevent and mitigate water-related zoonotic diseases leveraging nature-based solutions. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Summary. Waterborne zoonotic diseases, such as Cryptosporidium, E.coli, and Leptospira are a serious threat to drinking water safety, especially in rural, farm-dominated lands. Read more
Fouling Control of Water Treatment Membranes through Optimal and Sustainable Cleaning Strategies
Membrane fouling – the deposition of organic and inorganic matter on the membrane surface – is a major technical obstacle affecting membrane-based water treatment processes. Read more
Muka Membranes for Water Treatment
Water scarcity has become a global challenge. Approximately 20% of New Zealanders lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Consuming contaminated water can cause severe illness if not properly treated. Read more
Determining the water retention behaviour of unsaturated hydrophobic granular soils
Hydrophobic granular soils are under investigation for constructing roads on frost-susceptible soils in China and the US, in preference to cementitious stabilisation. Read more
Developing a Wireless Sensor for Measuring Water Storage in Glacier Moulins
PROJECT OVERVIEW. An exciting opportunity to develop a new instrument to study water storage in glaciers. You should have either a background in engineering or environmental science, but with a keen enthusiasm to design, build and field-test an instrument that will need to work in a harsh environment. Read more
Green electrospun nanofiber membranes for water treatment
Access to clean drinking water and sanitation has seen substantial progress in recent time, however there is still a large part of the global population, that live mostly in rural settings, that lack this basic necessity. The UN estimates that globally one in three people do not have access to safe drinking water and two in five people lack basic hand-washing facilities. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Engineering stomatal patterning in plants for enhanced water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Globally, agricultural fresh-water usage has increased 6-fold in the past 100 years, twice as fast as the human population, and is expected to double again before 2030, driven mainly by agriculture. Read more
