EventsWater Research Showcase event on campus – a great success!
We recently held a Water Research Showcase on campus, on 24th February 2026, in the School of Management Building (10 East), Level 0 foyer and room 0.08. This time, in addition to the posters and equipment on display, visitors were also invited to listen to some short talks by CWBE Co-Directors and Wessex Water staff.
The showcase was a great opportunity for people to see examples of cutting-edge research tackling environmental and public health challenges. On show were advances in wastewater-based epidemiology, sensor technologies, data-driven health surveillance, catchment management, Smart rivers and more.
The short talks given were:
| CWBE – Building One Health platform for environment and public health protection | |
| Chemical fingerprinting approaches to assess environmental and public health | Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern, CWBE Director |
| Pathogen Surveillance | Ed Feil, CWBE Co-Director |
| Sensing and IoW for One Health platform | Pedro Estrela, CWBE Co-Director |
| Social prescribing and pharma | Julie Barnett, CWBE Co-Director |
| Wessex Water | |
| Micro-plastics and the water cycle – threats and management opportunities | Megan Robertson, Senior Environmental Scientist |
| From drought to flood and back to drought: how could we better use rainwater? | Matt Wheeldon, Director of Infrastructure Development |
| Water companies versus society or are we all in this together? | Ruth Barden, Environmental Solutions Director |
