Northumbrian Water Group has launched a multi-million-pound project to reduce storm overflow spills across the region. In a UK-first, the provider is trialling smart sewer technology, which uses artificial intelligence and digital twins to move wastewater around networks to reduce flood risk. Here, the company reveals more about its tests, and why initial successes leave it primed to expand the process across the entire North East.
The North East Technology Park (NETPark) continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading destination for science and technology companies, with its latest expansion due to be completed in the spring. The next phase will provide additional facilities, reinforcing NETPark’s role in supporting innovative businesses at every stage of their growth journey.
