Groton Utilities: Improving Efficiency And Performance With Enterprise Asset Management

In this case study, read about a Connecticut utility that deployed integrated solutions to streamline asset management, maintenance, and reporting. 

How Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Can Protect Against Drought

Learn how common wastewater technologies are being leveraged in decentralized systems and how they can open opportunities for innovation and better water management in the face of drought.

When Everyday Becomes Special

Piping professionals must have a deep understanding of their systems and operation processes to prepare for those days when the unexpected occurs, and the surprise is not particularly pleasant. 

Igudan's Water Reuse System Saves Millions In Irrigation Costs

Learn how a WWTP overcame the challenge of encountering unidentified wastewater events from unknown sources that impact its processes.

Pumps Keep Mines Dry: Increased Efficiency And Safety In Mine-Water Management

Pumps play a critical role in all mining operations and are, therefore, among the most important equipment in a mine. In this article, Mikael Hjelm, globally responsible for business development in mine-water management at Sulzer, explains why.

Training Is A Dirty Word In Water And Wastewater

Over the years, the water industry has gotten smarter and started coming up with ways of getting training services and support without calling out “training."

Why Reliable Communication Is Key To The Future Of Water

A reliable communications network must have robustness, redundancy, reconnaissance, and resiliency. This article will explain what this means, why it matters, and the necessary steps to build one.

SCADA System And Water Leakage Management Software Helps Reduce Non-Revenue Water

Metropolitan Cebu is the country’s second largest urban area and has been experiencing significant economic and population growth in recent years.

What Can You Do With Adaptive Mixers?

Flygt introduced the first submersible mixer in 1951. Today, more than 250,000 Flygt mixers have been deployed and are reliably doing their jobs, operating mainly out-of-sight and out-of-mind.

Study Evaluates The Cost Benefits Of Recharge Net Metering For Groundwater Sustainability

Drought-plagued states have been searching for ways to replenish water sources. One such method is through managed aquifer recharge (MAR), which involves injecting water directly into aquifer wells. Although cost-effective, MAR projects often require the participation of private landowners. Researchers have developed a program called recharge net metering (ReNeM) to solve this.

Humans Are Depleting Groundwater Worldwide, But There Are Ways To Replenish It

Groundwater is a renewable resource, but it can take decades or even centuries for some aquifers to recover after they are depleted. Current understanding of this challenge is based mainly on where and how frequently people record measurements of water levels in wells. In a newly published study, our team of data scientists, water specialists, and policy experts compiled the first global-scale dataset of these levels.
