We need to update how we monitor microbiology in water

What are the gaps in our monitoring of microbiology? Are we doing enough to keep track of indicator species in waterways? What can we learn from Europe?

Today, we're asking these questions (and more) of Anna Whittaker, from BNovate Technologies. Join us to discover the importance of microbiological monitoring, why climate change is a vector for bacteria and the necessity of digitalising our microbiology sensors.

We discuss:

  • Why should microbiology be a process parameter for water utilities?
  • Why is it important to digitalise microbiology monitoring?
  • What is happening with utilities in Europe?
  • How will climate change and growing population impact microbiology?
  • How would you like to see microbiology monitoring develop in the future?
  • Why is digitalisation important for microbiology and the water industry?
