_Weak Implementation of Sustainable Water Policy in SMEs_ Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are failing to prioritize sustainable water management, despite growing concerns about water scarcity and pollution. The implementation of sustainable water policies in SMEs remains weak due to: - Lack of awareness and understanding of water-related risks and opportunities - Insufficient resources and budget allocation - Limited employee training and engagement - Inadequate monitoring and tracking of water usage This weakness leads to: - Inefficient water use, increased costs, and waste - Environmental degradation and reputation damage - Missed opportunities for innovation, cost savings, and competitive advantage To address this, SMEs must: - Conduct water audits and risk assessments - Set clear goals and targets for water reduction and efficiency - Implement efficient technologies and practices - Engage employees and stakeholders in water-saving efforts - Monitor and report progress regularly By prioritizing sustainable water management, SMEs can reduce their water footprint, improve their reputation, and contribute to a more sustainable future. It is essential for SMEs to take action and recognize the importance of sustainable water management for their operations, the environment, and the communities they serve. Immediate attention is required to address the weak implementation of sustainable water policy in SMEs. By taking proactive steps, SMEs can mitigate water-related risks, capitalize on opportunities, and ensure a sustainable future. #Savewater #savemotherearth #ReduceReuseRecycle #Trinitygreenengineeringservices

💧💡🇳🇱 The #Netherlands faces a water crisis: too much water, shortage of water, agricultural fertilisers, and industrial pollution such as PFAS and medicine residues threaten our drinking water supply. Already, some new businesses are denied drinking water connections; soon, new residential areas may meet the same fate. Wiebe de Vos stresses the crucial importance of investing in water technology for a sustainable future. #water #waterscarcity #watercrisis #tech #watertech #startup #innovation #future #sustainability #environment #technology #investment #capital #research #unitednations #climatechange #texas #houston https://lnkd.in/g_D-VAyz

In her latest piece, Jackline Lidubwi, PhD delves into CS Duale's thought-provoking comments at #COP29, highlighting the critical role of the middle class in Nairobi's pollution crisis. Duale's remarks point out that while informal settlers generate minimal waste, the middle class, with their higher consumption and inefficient waste disposal practices, significantly contribute to the pollution of the Nairobi River and the city's air quality. The article emphasises the need for self-reflection and collective responsibility in addressing these issues. It calls for better waste management practices, increased accountability, and a shift in consumer behaviour to reduce the environmental impact on water and air.

Ensuring Good Water Quality: A Crucial Step for Human Health and Ecosystems 🌍 Maintaining high water quality is essential for safeguarding human health and preserving our ecosystems. Effective wastewater management not only provides an alternative source of water but also plays a vital role in protecting our environment and contributing to our overall well-being. Proper treatment of wastewater can offer significant benefits: - Environmental Protection: By treating wastewater, we reduce pollution and prevent contaminants from entering our natural water bodies, which helps in preserving aquatic ecosystems. - Energy Recovery: Wastewater can be processed to recover valuable energy, contributing to sustainable energy solutions. - Nutrient Recycling: Treatment processes can extract essential nutrients from wastewater, which can be used to enrich soil and support agricultural productivity. Despite these benefits, it is concerning that currently, 80% of wastewater is discharged into the environment without proper treatment. This highlights a pressing need for more sustainable water resource management practices. It’s crucial that we address this issue by investing in advanced wastewater treatment technologies and adopting sustainable practices to ensure that our water resources are managed responsibly for the benefit of all.

🚫 EA Refuses Permit for £230m Incinerator Due to Biodiversity Risks 🚫 This week, the EA refused the Environmental Permit application for a £230m Energy Recovery Facility in Graythorp, Hartlepool. The facility was designed to convert industrial and household waste into energy through combustion, generating 49.5MW of electricity, enough to power more than 90,000 homes annually, diverting waste from landfill. However, predicted air emissions posed significant risks to local biodiversity, particularly the nearby Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). ❓ What’s the story? ❓ Before operating, the facility needs: 🏗️ Planning Permission from the Local Planning Authority (to evaluate the need and suitability of the development). 📄 Environmental Permit from the Permitting Authority e.g. Environment Agency (to regulate emissions and ensure environmental safety). These processes, while separate, work together to ensure developments are both necessary and environmentally safe. Air emissions were found to cause damaging levels of nitrogen deposition on the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI, home to various protected species. Nutrient nitrogen (or eutrophication) is associated with nitrogenous emissions sources (NOx and NH3) which can be disrupt the biodiversity of sensitive ecosystems. Baseline levels of nitrogen in the area already exceed environmental thresholds, with 99% of the SSSI reported as being in an unfavourable condition. The majority of sites across the UK are in a similar condition. Natural England's recent State of Natural Capital Report for England 2024 report highlights nitrogen deposition as a key risk to nature. Despite being given three opportunities to refine their design, the applicant could not reduce the risks to an acceptable level. The image below illustrates the close proximity of the proposed site to the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI, highlighting the potential for air emissions to disrupt the local ecosystem.
