If you′re not Thames, the water looks lovely for investors | Nils Pratley (The Guardian)

If firm is put in special administration, United Utilities and Severn Trent show shareholders won't flee sector en masseThames Water, with occasional cameos by ugly little siblings Southern Water and South East Water, grabs most of the attention in the sector for obvious reasons. So it's easy to overlook what's happening further north. Short answer: the new era of higher bills and higher spending on water infrastructure will feel splendid if you're United Utilities, licence-holder in north-west England, or Severn Trent, operating in the Midlands.The former's share price surged 11% on Thursday, the sort of thing that shouldn't happen at a utility where success is meant to be defined in terms of dull predictability. And it's definitely unusual to see a one-day valuation jump of that size when the company is issuing £800m-worth of new shares. Indeed, there was a mini-stampede for UU's equity after Australia's sovereign wealth fund, Future Fund, and the global infrastructure investor Atlas grabbed h...

Water-Based Method Recovers 65% Of EV Battery Metals In One Minute At Room Temperature
Authored by Neetika Walter via Interesting Engineering,
Researchers at Rice University have developed a water-based method that recovers valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries in minutes, offering a faster and lower-energy alternative to conventional recycling systems.
The new process targets key battery materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, which are in growing demand as electric vehicle and electronics production expands worldwide.
Battery recycling is becoming increasingly important as mineral supply chains tighten and nations seek to reduce dependence on newly mined materials. But many current recovery methods rely on harsh acids, toxic solvents, or long processing times.
Rice researchers say their new class of aqueous “amino chloride” solutions can extract metals quickly while avoiding many of those drawbacks.
Metals back, fast
“Traditional recycling methods often r...

Hsinchu water restrictions ease as reservoirs rebound (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Taiwan's Water Resources Agency (WRA) disaster emergency response team held its third working meeting on April 27, deciding to downgrade the water status signal in Hsinchu from a "pressure-reducing" yellow light to a "conservation" green light. This change follows a rise in water levels at Baoshan Reservoir and Second Baoshan Reservoir to nearly 70%. The voluntary water-saving target for science parks and industrial parks was also lowered from 7% to 5%....
