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.
