Sustainable Development
The Ashford's Integrated Alternatives project has been exploring the feasibility of a more integrated urban utility service provision as a way to improve the sustainability of urban development. The consortium, led by the University of Exeter, has been looking at technology options, the role of stakeholders in decision-making, and new business models. They have been tackling the issues of scale, integration and delivery in an attempt to reduce resource use, limit emissions, manage innovation and improve the quality of life in a case study set in Ashford, Kent.

The recent CCWI2011 Conference, was attended by over 230 delegates more than half of whom came from 26 countries around the world. Many exciting new research findings were presented during the three-day event. Members of the Centre for Water Systems presented a number of papers, but two caught not only imagination of the delegates present at the conference but also of the world’s news media. One deals with using Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect leaks in water distribution networks and the other explains how gaming technology (graphical processing units) can be used to model flooding rapidly .
To follow the links to read about the two topics in the world’s news media.
