Algal Bloom Hotspots: Where Are The Most Affected Areas In The U.S.?

In this post, we’ll explore the top algal bloom hotspots in the U.S., the reasons behind their vulnerability, and what’s being done to monitor and mitigate these growing threats. 

PFAS And Water Quality: What We Know About Forever Chemicals

As public awareness of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) grows, so too does concern over their widespread presence in our water, soil, food, and even our bodies. Rapid, on-site, or remotely operated detection of these “forever chemicals” is a crucial step to understanding the levels of PFAS within our systems.

Using Variable Frequency Drives To Consistently Improve Pump Performance

In clean water pumping applications that experience variable demands throughout the day, efficiently sizing and running pumps through their daily cycle requires a delicate balance in process design.

Asset Management And The Age Of Infrastructure

Water is our most precious resource but with some systems dating back a hundred years or more in the U.S., our water infrastructure is in dire need of repair.

How Strategic Valve Installation Prevented Service Disruption At A Senior Living Facility

Learn how Hydra-Stop’s insertion valve provided new control points to mitigate future disruptions during a service line emergency.

Do You Hate Your CMMS?

Maybe maintenance management has become too complicated? Maybe the data lumped into a giant table is just not usable. Maybe you inherited a system picked by someone else that doesn’t meet your needs? OR maybe what you really wanted wasn’t available when you made your decision?

Martin County Saves Millions With leadCAST's Automated Workflows And Statistical Analysis To Tackle LCRR

With the LCRR deadline fast approaching and over 59% of its service lines unverified, Martin County recognized the significant work ahead in preparing to meet the LCRR requirements. The county needed to establish a clear strategy for its compliance program, and to support this effort, it needed an engineering consulting partner with extensive expertise in LCRR.

Depths Of Druck's Experience Prevents Leaks For Water Authorities

Druck’s customer is a manufacturer of data-logging equipment, used in the monitoring of water distribution systems. As with many of Druck’s customers, they install sensors into the component or assembly that they in turn supply to their customer.

How To Stop Water Loss And Secure Your Network

KROHNE’s PipePatrol uses advanced pressure wave analysis to detect and locate leaks in real time, helping water utilities reduce non-revenue water and improve network efficiency.

Challenges In Ensuring Long-Term Water Quality (And How To Address Them)

Read about how mixers help prevent stratification, maintain consistent disinfectant distribution, and reduce sediment buildup, thereby mitigating public health risks associated with water storage.
