Hydraulic
and Environmental Engineering
New UNESCO Institute
for Water Education Established
Delft, The Netherlands - The UNESCO-IHE
Institute for Water Education will be established in Delft, The
Netherlands. This was decided today at the 31st General Conference
of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
in Paris. The existing International Institute for
Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE),
based in Delft, will be owned by all 188 Member States of UNESCO.
With this decision, knowledge on water management will become more
accessible to those of the developing world, in particular because
water will become one of the main political issues of this century.
Since
1957 IHE has been providing postgraduate education and training in
the fields of water and environment. The institute has contributed
to knowledge development through research for the benefit of the
developing world. Since its establishment IHE has trained more than
12,000 engineers from 120 countries. Clean drinking water,
irrigation, wastewater treatment, water and environmental management
are themes explored by engineers from all regions of the world
during their training in Delft.
UNESCOs Member States have responded
positively to the proposal of the Dutch to give IHE Delft an
international mandate. The Dutch Government has committed itself to
provide a basic contribution of USD 8 million per year to the new
institute.
Although the institute will be based
in Delft, it will continue its support to strengthening local
capacity of knowledge institutions, especially in the developing
world. It will remain its links with the World Water Council and the
Global Water Partnership and other international organizations. This
will satisfy the increasing demand for knowledge in water and
environmental management in many countries. To strengthen the
co-operation between knowledge institutions from 'North' and
'South', the Dutch Government has pledged an extra USD 5 million for
the next five years. With this extra contribution UNESCO-IHE will be
able to connect itself more firmly to its partner institutions in
developing countries. One way of doing this is to establish
electronic distance learning systems to increase the effectiveness
and efficiency in knowledge sharing and transfer.
The UNESCO-IHE will form the main
international reference body for education, training and capacity
building in water issues. It will facilitate intellectual leadership
for water and environment education.

Non-Fouling
Design
AccuStream Streaming Potential
Monitor for Optimizing Polymer Dosage
GLI International, Inc. (Milwaukee,
WI) - GLI announces the AccuStream Streaming Potential Monitoring
System. AccuStream continuously measures electrical charge
intensity, which indicates coagulant dosage in the treatment
process. Use of this analytical device ensures optimum chemical
dosage, which improves water treatment performance while reducing
coagulant consumption and overall treatment costs.
The
non-fouling sensor design produces the streaming potential signal.
With water sample continuously passing through the sensor, process
changes can be detected instantly. Optimal sensor design buffers the
sample maintaining a stable signal, even with variations in flow
rate. The AccuStream is able to perform sensitive measurements over
long periods of time with very little maintenance.
AccuStream features GLI's easy to use
model SP53 analyzer. It joins the GLI drinking water instrumentation
family which includes the Accu4 Turbidimeter, AccuCount+ Particle
Counter, AccuZone Ozone Monitor and the AccuChlor Chlorine Monitor.

Weir
Battled Against the Clock
Rapid Resolution
Sought to Prevent Water Shortage
Low rainfall necessitated emergency
water transfer from the River Exe to Wimbleball Storage Reservoir.
South West Water, in England, was battling against the clock to
complete the project in time and sought a rapid response to their
problem.
Traditionally,
pumps and associated diesel engines were on long lead times and
required to be ordered well in advance, but the project had to be
completed on time and had to deliver at a minimum, the required flow
rate.
Working closely with South West Water
and their civil contractor, Weir's went to work on the challenge and
designed and installed both the electrical and mechanical components
of the job. The pumping plant consisted of 3 Weir vertical shaft
bowl pumps that allowed South West Water to swiftly and
satisfactorily restore supply to the reservoir and delighted the
Design Manager at South West Water:
"Our thanks to Weir's team for
the first class, professional manner in which you have undertaken
work on the schemes Dunsford Hill and Exebridge (Wimbleball
transfer), The technical and personal contact with all your staff
made the undertaking of the two drought alleviation schemes a
pleasure in which to participate".
Weir Pumps, the flagship company of
the Weir Group, one of the world's top six pump manufacturers, have
been providing solutions to customers' pumping problems worldwide
for more than 125 years from its base in Scotland.
