Researchers from the University of Portsmouth have examined the dynamic changes in the resilience of UK wastewater treatment works, now known as Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs), and discovered that environmental stressors are increasing the potential for pollution events.

The economy of Southern Africa is rapidly developing, driving a growing demand for electricity.

The ancient crop provides flavor for humans and forage for livestock.
