A strong sense of innovation

摘要

Against the background of a host of legislation coming from the UK and Europe and the pressure of the current economic climate driving companies to instigate greater efficiency and seek cost-effective solutions to technological challenges, the Sensors for Water Interest Group (SWIG) remains dedicated to supporting the water industry through providing information on both traditional and novel sensors. These are applied in all areas of the industry that require the application of sensing technologies, such as in environmental monitoring, water and waste treatment and process industries. Since becoming chair of SWIG I have seen a real vibrancy in the water industry to innovate and develop new technologies for sensing applications. Not only to develop new sensors but to apply traditional sensors in new and cost effective ways.
