Update from our work in the water sector 💧 🦠
We travelled to the UK for the kick-off of our project “Rapid Cryptosporidium detection to improve water safety and protect public health.” Together with the consortium led by Severn Trent, we aligned on scope, work packages, and the next milestones for rapid, automated Cryptosporidium monitoring — enabling faster operational decisions and helping reduce risk to customers.
⚙️📈 A big shout-out to the team at Severn Trent for the excellent organisation and for the great insights into their processes, labs, and water treatment works. 🙌🔬 We’re excited about the development and milestones ahead!
Consortium partners: Severn Trent (Lead), FluIDect, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, South West Water, United Utilities, Scottish Water, Hafren Dyfrdwy Funder: Ofwat Innovation Fund 💧 (Water Breakthrough Challenge 5)
