项目摘要

The Rationale: We need freshwater for agriculture, industry and human existence. Access to good quality water is essential for sustainable socio-economic growth. Freshwater ecosystems are finite and globally threatened by increasing environmental degradation caused by destructive land-use and water-management practices and increasing industrialization. The scale of socio-economic activities, urbanisation, industrial operations and agricultural practices in India has reached the point where watersheds across India are being severely impacted. For example, gross organic pollution in India's freshwater resources are common place, resulting in severe toxic burdens, depletion of dissolved oxygen levels and severe pathogenic contamination. Eutrophication, arising from enrichment with nutrients caused by sewage and agro-industrial effluents and agricultural run-off, greatly impact on lakes and impounded rivers. Groundwater bodies are susceptible to leaching from waste dumps, mining and industrial discharges. Finally, despite their potential threat, the distribution, scale and levels of newly emerging water contaminants, e.g. endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are largely unknown. We must address the consequences of both present and future contaminant threats to water catchments if we are to provide action that provide solutions at all levels. The implementation of sensors for monitoring important biological and chemical parameters, through time and space, is the indispensable basis for accurate assessments whilst the deployment of state-of-the-art water treatment technologies for the removal of pollutants will enhance water protection and security.The Proposition: Firstly; improve our ability to determine the presence of pollution in water courses and the development of novel sensing approaches to help reduce or prevent pollution at source. We will do this via; The deployment and implementation of new in situ fluorescence sensors that have been developed by UWE, Bristol and Chelsea Technology Group (CTG) as part of a current NERC Grant (NE/K007572/1) The development of a novel bacterial bio-sensor using bio-reporter strains that was first conceived in India (Bose Institute), for the detection of endocrine disrupting chemicals in water bodies and effluents. Secondly; develop novel approaches to reduce or prevent pollution detected above at the source via; The development of novel off-grid treatment technologies, for rural and urban areas, to remove pollutants (sensed above) based on ultrafiltration membrane technology and bacterial remediation using bio-reactors.Longer-term Impact: To understand the impact of sewage contamination and the bacterial quality of freshwater catchments in India. To quantify changes in sewage contamination levels through time and space and to understand how these changes are affected by land use and effluent discharges. Our fluorescence sensor will be used to identify, monitor and detect bacterial contamination from sewage discharges entering waters at a catchment scale, including urbanised areas. To develop a bacterial sensor, using bio-reporter strains, for the detection of endocrine disrupting chemicals in discharges and freshwaters. We will also assess the feasibility of the catabolic potential of these biosensor strains for bioreactor-based remediation of EDCs and implement an off-grid UF membrane technology platform for the treatment of bacterial contamination. This UK/India partnership will involve the deployment of UK developed technologies in India and the subsequent development of Indian inspired sensors and treatment approaches in the UK.

基本原理：我们需要淡水来维持农业、工业和人类的生存。获得优质水是可持续社会经济增长的关键。淡水生态系统是有限的，而且由于破坏性的土地使用和水管理做法以及日益工业化造成的环境日益退化而受到全球性的威胁。印度的社会经济活动、城市化、工业运营和农业实践的规模已经达到了严重影响印度流域的程度。例如，印度淡水资源中的严重有机污染是常见的，导致严重的有毒负担、溶解氧水平的耗竭和严重的病原体污染。污水、农工业废水和农业径流造成营养物富集，造成富营养化，对湖泊和蓄水河流产生重大影响。地下水体容易受到废物倾倒、采矿和工业排放物的沥滤。最后，尽管有潜在的威胁，但新出现的水污染物，如内分泌干扰化学品（EDCs）的分布、规模和水平在很大程度上是未知的。如果我们要采取行动，在各级提供解决办法，我们就必须处理目前和未来污染物对集水区的威胁所造成的后果。通过传感器监测重要的生物和化学参数，通过时间和空间，是准确评估的不可或缺的基础，而最先进的水处理技术的部署，以消除污染物将加强水的保护和安全。提高我们确定水道中污染存在的能力，并开发新的传感方法，以帮助减少或防止污染源。我们将通过以下方式做到这一点：新的原位荧光传感器的部署和实施已经由UWE，布里斯托和切尔西技术集团（CTG）开发，作为当前NERC赠款（NE/K 007572/1）的一部分。第二;开发新的方法，以减少或防止污染检测上述源头通过;新的离网处理技术的发展，农村和城市地区，以消除污染物（上述感知）的基础上超滤膜技术和细菌修复使用生物反应器。长期影响：了解印度的污水污染和淡水集水区的细菌质量的影响。量化污水污染水平随时间和空间的变化，并了解这些变化如何受到土地使用和污水排放的影响。我们的荧光传感器将用于识别、监测和检测污水排放进入沃茨的细菌污染，包括城市化地区。使用生物报告菌株开发细菌传感器，用于检测排放物和淡水中的内分泌干扰化学物质。我们还将评估这些生物传感器菌株的分解代谢潜力的可行性，用于基于生物反应器的内分泌干扰物的修复，并实施用于细菌污染处理的离网超滤膜技术平台。英国/印度的合作伙伴关系将涉及在印度部署英国开发的技术，以及随后在英国开发印度启发的传感器和治疗方法。
