Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region use the fossil fuels under their desert lands not only to make money, but also to make drinking water. The petroleum they produce powers more than 400 desalination plants, which turn seawater into drinkable water.

WATER ONLINE FEATURED VIDEOS
On this episode of The Water Online Show, hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling interview Fred Gerringer, Brown and Caldwell’s Water Reuse National Practice Leader, about the creation of a first-of-its-kind State Water Reuse Regulatory Guide being developed for the WateReuse Association and its partner organizations.
AI is everywhere—but what does it actually mean for water and wastewater utilities? In this episode of the Water Online Show, host Travis Kennedy sits down with Andrea DuMont of Bentley Systems to cut through the hype and explore how artificial intelligence is really showing up in the field.
Rob Collier, Group President of Water Treatment at Veralto and former President of ChemTreat (now part of Veralto), joins Water Online’s Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling to discuss how the explosive growth of AI and data centers is dramatically increasing water demand — often to the scale of small cities — and putting new pressure on local utilities.
Which pipes fail most often — and where should utilities focus first? Drawing on data from more than 800 utilities, Greg Baird, Principal Consultant for Utility Financial Management at Black & Veatch, explains how pipe material, diameter, and age drive risk, and why smaller-diameter legacy pipes represent the biggest vulnerability.
