Geofabrics Australasia has published Chapter 3 of its lecture series on the use and testing of coastal protection systems using geosynthetics. Here in Part 3, James Carly of the Water Research Laboratory discusses the test models and actual results which resulted in design methodology for the coastal protection system from Geofabrics. The lecture is part of the "Geosynthetics at Work" series produced by Australia's International Fibre Centre. This page also contains the videos from Chapters 2 and 1.

A couple years ago, Geofabrics Australasia helped a private landowner correct beachfront erosion and provide a long-term shoreline protection strategy. The landowner sent a photograph to Geofabrics this week of the coastline at high tide. The geotextile bag design is providing exemplary support. Settlement and erosion are not appearing. The installation remains strong. "The View from..." is a continuing series of photographs from the field. Share your geosynthetics success.

Several investigators have reported higher densities of indicator bacteria after dewatering of anaerobically digested biosolids, an inevitable byproduct of the wastewater treatment process. The effects of these processes on the sudden increase and regrowth of fecal coliform and E.coli are examined in the latest issue of Water Environment Research (WER), the popular journal published by the Water Environment Federation (WEF). Formerly available to subscribers only, selected WER articles are available free to the public on a monthly basis through an open-access program.

On the US Environmental Protection Agency's website, they have a concise page dedicated to general anaerobic digestor information. Learn about biogas recovery and power/funding potential in sections like "AD 101," read the FAQs, get contacts, and more. Learn more here.;
