In one of their first actions of 2022, the Environmental Audit Committee has released what can only be described as a damning report about the state of water quality in UK rivers.

The initial role of the enquiry was to focus both on the water industry and urban diffuse pollution, as previous enquiries had already focussed on nitrates. The report is extensive and covers a wide scope of different pollution issues facing

Today - 8th March 2022 - is International Women's Day, and the theme for this year is #BreakTheBias. We spoke to our Engineer Lizzie-Jean Khan on how she is breaking the bias by working in her role as an engineer, which is a typically male dominated role.

Have you found that engineering tends to be a typically male dominated role? Yes. Even now after working in the engineering industry since I was 16 years old, I still get the odd “a woman in engineering? Wow”

Nearly two years after its introduction to UK parliament, the Environment Act was signed into law on the 9th of November 2021. At over 300 pages long, it is a comprehensive document that covers a wide variety of new legislation for different environmental sectors. The UK Government hopes to use the act as an example for the rest of the world as they set up environmental policy for the next 25 years following Brexit; but what does it actually mean?

The Environment Act 2021: A quick look Legal establishment of the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP), a previously interim body set-up in July 2021, with the aim to protect and improve the environment by holding public authorities and the

In a first for the UK, Proteus Instruments and its partners presented a series of three webinars exploring the current situation and how Proteus aims to provide the 'silver bullet' to monitoring and protecting the rivers & bathing waters from sewage and agricultural pollution.

Our webinars come with a warning: Proteus is a very disruptive technology and it will transform your perception of how the UK can monitor it's degraded rivers for pollution and hence rely less on manual and ineffective water sampling.

This great video from New Scientist shows how our Proteus Instruments sensors are being used in the Smarter Water Catchment Programme between Thames Water, Earthwatch and Wild Oxfordshire in the Evenlode catchment.

Testament to how the Proteus can be used as part of a network to provide real-time data on what's really happening in our rivers.
