  1. How Industrial Facilities Are Rethinking Wastewater Treatment And Water Reuse As Discharge Rules And Operating Costs Tighten 10/22/2026
    Industrial facilities are under pressure to reduce freshwater consumption, control wastewater discharge costs, and maintain reliable production. Water reuse can help address all three concerns, but recovering water does not automatically make a facility more efficient.
  2. Predicting Pump Ragging Before The Overflow: What Lift-Station Sensing Gets Right 10/22/2026
    Rags and wipes don’t seize a pump overnight they load it gradually, and the sensors already in the station can see it coming days ahead. The stations that avoid overflows aren’t the ones with the most instruments; they’re the ones that read the right signals together.
  3. Tackling Lake Erie's Algal Blooms Requires Targeted Conservation Strategies 10/19/2026
    Algal blooms in Lake Erie remind us how closely food production and clean water are connected. Many of these nutrients come from nearby farms, and the challenge is keeping them out of waterways.
  4. El Niño Intensifies: Collection Systems Should Prepare Now 10/19/2026

    A strengthening El Niño raises the stakes for sewer and stormwater networks, making monitoring of rainfall, level, and flow before the first major storm a matter of readiness rather than reaction.

  5. Grinding Vs. Screening: How To Select The Best Process For Your Application 10/19/2026

    Choosing between grinding and screening requires evaluating site constraints, wastewater composition, and downstream treatment needs to balance solids removal, equipment protection, maintenance, and cost.

  6. What Does Calibration Actually Mean For Your Water Quality Instrument? 10/19/2026

    Calibration is not one process. Its meaning shifts across colorimetric, electrochemical, and amperometric instruments, and applying the wrong expectation to the wrong one can cost time, compliance standing, and accuracy.

  7. Solutions For Safe Drinking Water 10/19/2026

    Water quality depends on keeping distribution lines moving and monitored. Automatic flushing, connected sampling, pressure management, and leak detection work best together, with two municipal deployments showing the results.

  8. Chloramination: Practical Strategies For Reliable Water Quality 10/15/2026

    Monochloramine's stability advantage in complex distribution systems depends on precise chemistry and early detection of nitrification, with calibration and documentation standing up to regulatory review.

  9. Turning Dairy Processing Residuals Into Resources For Healthier Soils 10/14/2026

    The food system depends on productive soil, yet manufacturing leaves behind organic materials that never reach a retail package. For dairy manufacturers, one of those materials is dissolved air flotation sludge, commonly called DAF sludge. When its composition, treatment, and receiving site are properly evaluated, this residual can become a resource for nutrient recovery and soil improvement.

  10. Empowering The Next Generation Of Water Innovators: 2026 Hach Equipment Grant 10/13/2026

    Professional-grade testing equipment can decide whether a student's water research idea becomes a viable investigation. One grant program pairs high school competitors with professional field tools.
