We are pleased to announce that Professor Alasdair Clark has been awarded funding under the EPSRC (via the UK Metamaterials Network – UKMMN) to support field testing of a new sensor technology, developed during the Decentralised Water Technologies (DWT) project.

This project is led by Professor Alasdair Clark at the University of Glasgow, with Scottish Water as a partner.

Dr Justin Sperling will visit drinking water treatment sites in Orkney and the Carron Valley to test a new rapid chemical fingerprinting tool. The study will take place over 6 months between May and November 2025.

Results will be correlated with gold-standard lab techniques.
