Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a university 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.
Turning wastewater into valuable proteins with genetically modified yeast
The growing world population means that the environment is under great strain. Agriculture takes up large land areas and discharges nutrients to the surrounding environment. At the same time, there is tremendous pressure on the aquatic environment from all forms of industrial production that emits residual products such as wastewater, and regardless of whether we […]
Using AI to develop early warning systems for flooding
The weather of the future will be significantly wetter. Artificial intelligence can be used to develop early warning systems that can buy time to mitigate flood damage and to plan good systems to divert water away.
Lakes collapse and release meltwater during winter causing inland ice to speed up in Greenland
A team of international researchers has shown for the first time how 18 meltwater lakes in Greenland collapse during winter, which causes the edges of the ice to flow faster. The new knowledge is essential for understanding how climate change influences the flow of ice masses in the Arctic. In the middle of winter in 2018, an […]
Project aims to reduce water consumption in food production by 15 to 30%
Carlsberg recently won a Global Water Award for the world's best water project in the industry category. The award is one of the highest recognitions that you can receive in the global water sector, and it was given for a new water-efficient brewery in Fredericia. Here, Carlsberg has found an innovative way to recycle 90% […]
Digitalization is an important climate tool
Carbon emissions from the Internet are on a par with emissions from the aerospace industry, but at the same time digital technologies are crucial to winning the battle against climate change.
Wanted: Someone to lead global surveillance of antimicrobial resistance via sewage
In the journal Science, a DTU professor calls for someone to carry on a global surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and infectious diseases via sewage.
New study underlines sea level rise in the Arctic ocean
Sea levels in the Arctic oceans have risen an average of 2.2 millimeters per year over the last 22 years.This is the conclusion reached by a Danish-German research team after analyzing 1.5 billion radar measurements from satellites. The Arctic ocean are often not included in the global sea level estimation. This is partly due to […]
