Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests
In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?
Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range
Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

Why Real Progress On Source Water Protection Requires National Priority

Alex Shannon, Senior Vice President at WSP in the U.S., argues that water professionals largely understand what needs to be done — but limited funding, competing priorities, and complex governance slow action, making broad public and political buy‑in essential to truly prioritize and invest in water.

Designing Flexible Infrastructure For An Uncertain Water Future

Alex Shannon, Senior VP and West Region Water Business Line Leader at WSP in the U.S., discusses how utilities are responding to rising risks by shifting away from rigid, one‑off solutions and toward modular, lifecycle‑based infrastructure planning that can adapt over time — helping manage costs while staying resilient amid evolving water challenges.

Using Watershed Scale Risk Assessments To Drive Collective Action

Karen Frost, Executive Director of The Water Council, highlights how industry associations can use shared Water Body Risk Assessment tools to identify common watershed challenges, prioritize collective pain points, and align technology solutions across multiple facilities for greater regional impact.

Why Source Water Protection Is The Smartest Investment Utilities Can Make

Kenan Ozekin, Chief Research Officer at The Water Research Foundation, explains that climate change, emerging contaminants, and land‑use pressures are converging at once — making it far more cost‑effective and impactful to manage risks upstream in the watershed than to treat them later at the drinking water plant.
