Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Life cycle analyses (LCAs) show the main operational energy contribution for rainwater-harvesting (RWH) systems come from ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and pumping rainwater from tank to building. Simple methods of estimating pump energy consumption... Read More about Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy.

Harvested rainwater quality: The importance of appropriate design (2010)
Journal Article

This paper summarises the physicochemical and microbiological quality of water from a rainwater harvesting (RWH) system in a UK-based office building. 7 microbiological and 34 physicochemical parameters were analysed during an 8 month period. Physico... Read More about Harvested rainwater quality: The importance of appropriate design.

Rainwater harvesting: Model-based design evaluation (2010)
Journal Article

The rate of uptake of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in the UK has been slow to date, but is expected to gain momentum in the near future. The designs of two different new-build rainwater harvesting systems, based on simple methods, are evaluated using t... Read More about Rainwater harvesting: Model-based design evaluation.

A framework for supporting rainwater harvesting in the UK (2009)
Journal Article

Numerous policy vehicles have been introduced in the UK promoting the use of rainwater harvesting (RWH). However, an 'implementation deficit' exists where legislation limits action by failing to provide adequate support mechanisms. This study uses an...

Devensian Late-glacial environmental change in the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, England: A rare archive for southwest Britain (2008)
Journal Article

The Late-glacial and Holocene environmental history of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, UK has been reconstructed using pollen, sediment particle size and mineralogical analyses and radiocarbon dating. A Devensian sediment ridge across the valley... Read More about Devensian Late-glacial environmental change in the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, England: A rare archive for southwest Britain.

Effect of flood conditions on the deterioration of porous clay-based brick
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Man-made materials represent an increasingly large proportion of geomaterials that are used to build up a rapidly expanding urbanised landscape. The deterioration of such materials is of increasing concern, in particular in light of the projected inc...
