FEATURED ARTICLES

Apavital S.A. Digitalizes Water Consumption With Itron's Smart Metering Devices

Modernize water network management by combining precision ultrasonic metering with advanced acoustic leak detection. This integrated digital approach provides real-time data to identify vulnerabilities, minimize non-revenue water, and optimize distribution for long-term operational sustainability.

No Shutdowns, No Setbacks: The Smart Valve Strategy Behind Englewood's Water Upgrade

Discover how Englewood, Colorado's Lead Reduction Program utilized Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve technology to replace 3,000 lead service lines without service disruption, overcoming aging infrastructure challenges and ensuring consistent water supply.

A Pilot Study Involving Three Different Treatment Media (Loprest)

As part of a feasibility study for arsenic treatment at an elementary school in California, a pilot study was conducted to test the performance of three different treatment media: (1) greensand and anthracite, (2) standard sand and anthracite, and (3) manganese dioxide.

How To Cost-Effectively Remove Oil Contaminants From Industrial Wastewater

Read how advancements in material development have led to microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes that can handle oil-contaminated wastewater without excess fouling.

Purifying Water From The Ground Up

For some water providers, carefree days of producing pure, fresh water from groundwater sources are long gone. Years of evolving chemical complexity, industrial operations, and short-sighted disposal methods have taken a toll on groundwater sources. Fortunately, new technologies are helping water providers make the best of a challenging situation across a wide range of contaminants.

Liquid-Phase H₂S Sensor Provides New Insights At Treatment Plants

Eliminate sensor fouling and frequent maintenance in challenging water applications by utilizing inductive sensing technology. This non-contact approach ensures accurate conductivity readings and long-term reliability, even when monitoring aggressive chemicals or high-solid process streams.

Cybersecurity Best Practices For Private Utilities

Digital connectivity in decentralized water systems creates new vulnerabilities for private utilities. Protecting critical infrastructure requires proactive "cyber hygiene," including network segmentation and rigorous access controls, to ensure operational uptime and prevent unauthorized system interference.

PFAS Treatment: Tackling "Forever Chemicals" In Our Environment

This guide delves into the history, widespread applications, and evolving strategies to understand and mitigate the impacts of PFAS on health and ecosystems.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools For Wastewater Pump Health Assessment

Advanced diagnostic tools are crucial for managing aging wastewater pump infrastructure. Trending diagnostics, ODS modeling, EMA, and MAV enable proactive, data-driven pump health assessments, helping to reduce costs, minimize downtime, and prevent catastrophic failures.

Tips For Choosing A Jobsite Dewatering System

Dewatering systems for construction sites aren’t one-size-fits-all. Choosing the most appropriate dewatering system for the job will yield the best results in the least amount of time.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Wastewater Treatment Coatings Market To Reach $5.7B By 2033

Your Story, Your Credibility: How Water Agencies Build Trust In The Age Of AI

If you’ve ever asked an AI tool a question about water quality, infrastructure, or even your own utility, you’ve probably noticed that the answer often draws from news articles, expert opinion, and industry reporting.

Geotechnical IoT Shifts Water Infrastructure From Reactive To Predictive

Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical IoT devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.
