Have you thought about the journey water makes to get to your taps? What processes has it undergone to make it safe to drink? The tracks in this album examine issues of water supply and treatment in the UK, where each of us uses approximately 150 litres a day! We hear from different parties involved in water management including the bodies representing the consumer, the environment, and the suppliers. The scope of the discussion ranges from wastage and emergency treatment to recycling and effluent control. In two bonus audio tracks, OU lecturer Dr Suresh Nesaratnam explains why the case studies were selected and gives an overview of the academic context in which water supply and treatment is studied. This material forms part of The Open University course T210 Environmental control and public health.

Nominated for Best Family Podcast at the British Podcast Awards 2021 & 2022. Bottle Ship Adventures is a series of stand-alone stories set in the magical land of Dilstonia where little creatures called The Jifflings live on their little Jiffling ship. All the things we humans lose or throw away end up in Dilstonia, and The Jifflings find these lost objects and fish them out of their sea so they can work together to find a new use for them. Each object has a story of how it ended up in Dilstonia and each story helps The Jifflings, and the audience, to learn a new lesson. The show is about recycling and re-using things and has lots of humour and friendship at it’s heart. Bottle Ship Adventures is for children aged 4-10 years old but if you’re older and enjoy it too, good for you!
