Sheffield rivers dye tracing
This photograph was taken during a series of dye traces conducted by Professor Ian Guymer in 2007 for the Environment Agency.
These traces were conducted to investigate how much water would be needed to be released to dilute pollutants, such as those found during the June and July 2007 flooding earlier that year.
This dye tracing was reported in several local newspapers, including The Star, the Look Local, and the Coventry Evening Telegraph.
CITYBLUES
As part of CityBlues: practical implementation of ecological and engineering principles in integrated stormwater management, an EU Asia-Link (C2) programme project, Professor Ian Guymer conducted outreach activities in Vientiane, Laos. Visit the archived CITYBLUES website.
The kick-off workshop in Vientiane made local headline news, 8 July 2004.
