This November we launched our borehole bulletin series and with number five issued yesterday, now it's time to bring our series to life! Our webinar ‘How to Develop a Licensed Water Supply Borehole: Advice from The Experts’ launches tomorrow at 11 am, and if you haven’t signed up already, now’s the time!


Our experts, Dr Phil Ham, James Dodds and Penny Jenkinson are thrilled to be joined by our client Sam Walton from Associated British Ports. Together they will reflect on the key points for developing a licensed water supply, focussing on a recent project at Grimsby Port.


The webinar will cover:

• The benefits you gain from a feasibility study

World Environment Day 2025

Across the globe, plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly crucial topic, with an estimated 400 million tonnes being produced every year world wide. While the focus is often on visible plastic (including bottles, bags, and packaging), a growing body of research is turning its attention to the invisible threat of microplastics and emerging contaminants, which are increasingly finding their way into water sources, food chains and even the air we breathe.  What are microplastics? Microplastics are a growing threat to the health of our planet. Despite being barely visible, these tiny plastic particles account for roughly 8% of global plastic waste, a number that is set to increase in the coming years.

Building Resilience in the Agricultural Sector

As much as we all love the sunshine and have been embracing the recent warmer weather spell across the UK, the prolonged dry conditions are now raising concerns that England may be at risk of a potential drought this summer. Following an exceptionally sunny and dry April, which experienced just over 56% of usual rainfall, the start of May was also the warmest on record, surpassing the previous high set in 1990. With water resources already strained, it is more important than ever that proactive measures are promptly adopted to mitigate this risk, promote water conservation and avoid the potential for future restrictions. We asked Principal Water Resources Specialist, Tamsin Morey , for her thoughts on the matter... Tamsin, what dangers are we already seeing in the UK?
