Partnerships help address global water challenges

Apr 24, 2021 It is not easy to grasp the big picture of water issues, which range from public health and environmental problems to socioeconomic challenges and technological solutions. Professor Satoshi Takizawa, director of the Research Center for Water Environment Technology at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, who also teaches at the university’s Department of Urban Engineering, has studied engineering and management of urban water systems in Japan and developing countries. He taught at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok from 1997 to 1999 and has participated in many international research projects. Having served over a decade leading a panel on overseas expansion of the Japanese water industry for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, professor Takizawa shared his thoughts on water with The Japan Times.

UNEP and Google partner to hunt for plastic pollution with machine learning

UNEP and Google partner to hunt for plastic pollution with machine learning Bangkok, 20 April 2021 – The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) today announced that it is working to fight plastic pollution using citizen science and machine learning, with technical advisory support from Google . With Google’s support, UNEP will create a new machine learning model that reveals a more detailed and accurate view of plastic pollution in the Mekong River. One of the main challenges of fighting plastic pollution is determining how exactly it enters – or “leaks” – into bodies of water. Working in the Mekong region from 2019-2020, UNEP’s CounterMEASURE project, with the support of the Geoinformatics Center (GIC) at the Asian Institute of Technology, developed techniques of assessing plastic leakage into the Mekong River using geospatial data and images of plastic waste supplied by researchers and volunteers.
