Water Environment and Health Engineering Group
We have a research capability in developing, implementing and managing innovative solutions and interventions for the protection of the environment and public health. We are a diverse multidisciplinary research group with background expertise in civil engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, microbiology, virology, zoology, public health and mathematics.
Centre for Environmental Health and Engineering
We collaborate with the Centre on various research such as risk assessment and management, wastewater treatment and water, sanitation and public health.
Prizes we've won
Our project won the UK-Philippines Newton Prize 2019. The project aims to convert wastewater into nutrient rich fertiliser and is leading the way on improving the health and prosperity of rapidly urbanising areas in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
We were joint winners of the 2011 Queen's Anniversary Prize for wide-ranging and global work improving access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Listen to Barry Lloyd talking about why water research is so important.
