Meeting the world’s energy demands sustainably Global energy demand is estimated to grow by more than one third by 2035*. At the same time, the demand for water required for energy production is set to increase by a concurrent 85%. The result: immense stress on the world’s already scarce water resources.Despite their CO2 footprint, hydrocarbon sources will continue to remain important contributors to global energy production. However, renewable energy will need to devel...

Climate change impacts will hit us first through water Higher temperatures and changes to other climate variables are leading to sea level rise as well as changes in wave climate, coastal environments, and the availability and quality of water for irrigation and other water demands. An increased hazard of extreme events such as storms, heavy rainfall and periods of drought and water scarcity is also expected.The scale and nature of projected changes varies across the globe.

Effective solutions for complex environments Coastal environments are transient, continuously reshaped by waves, tides, surges, erosion and deposition. The competing needs of commercial, recreational and residential interests put increasing pressure on coasts around the world. In addition, the combined effect of globalisation, growing energy demand and increasing wealth requires the transportation of goods over longer distance – often by sea. To accommodate more and larger vessels...

Water – a precious and finite resource The world's water consumption rate is doubling every 20 years — twice as fast as the population growth rate. By 2025, water demand will exceed supply by 56%. Managing this precious and finite resource is a critical and urgent challenge. While there is theoretically enough fresh water on the planet to sustain the needs of its population, much of it is wasted, polluted and unsustainably managed. In addition, its uneven distribution means...

Urbanisation – the challenge of the century By 2015, the world is expected to have an urban population of nearly 4 billion – a sizeable challenge for urban water management. Infrastructure networks are expanding as we speak. Moreover, the impacts of climate change are inescapably dramatic in densely populated urban areas. Consequently, it has become crucial to manage water environments efficiently within cities – today and in the future. With our generalised and custom...
