CORDIS
CORDIS is a news agency that is part of the pulse of the water sector. Here we bring together everything it publishes on Smart Water Magazine: its news, its blogs and the events it takes part in.
Should we worry about drugs in the water supply?
Though that glass of water might look clear, a range of pharmaceutical residues could be lurking inside. Manuel Valiente is our font of knowledge.
Smart water treatment for preservation and energy production in energy-intensive industries
Multiple technological advances in water preservation are demonstrated in three case studies involving energy production, mining and electroplating.
Where does the water go during a drought?
Even as we suffer through droughts, the amount of water on Earth stays the same. So where does it go during this time, and what makes it return? Our font of knowledge is hydrology expert Diego Miralles.
How to reduce rising sea level risks on European coasts
A new modelling study sheds light on adaptation measures that can protect cities and urban areas along Europe’s coasts.
Paving the way for the digitalisation of water management
An EU-funded project builds stronger links between the physical and digital worlds to improve water management.
Helping cities rethink their water infrastructure
An EU-backed project is demonstrating systematic, city-wide planning of nature-based solutions (NBSs) for urban water treatment, storage and reuse.
How much of the water we drink is recycled?
‘Toilet-to-tap’ systems can cut strain on water supplies, if we overcome the yuck factor. But how clean is our potable water anyway? We wade in with micropollutants expert Didier Neuzeret.
How old is the oldest ice in Antarctica?
Much of the southern continent remains frozen in time, providing a window into Earth’s past. Expert Robert Mulvaney reveals how far back these records go.
Why don’t rivers straighten out over time?
Seen from above, the world’s greatest rivers can be recognised by their serpentine curves. But how do these shapes form, do they alter over time and does this matter? We turned to our river system expert, Carmelo Juez.
