    Discover how WWW™ ArxZyme™ bioaugmentation products are an effective solution for rapid recovery from wastewater process upsets, enabling you to quickly rebuild beneficial microbial species and accelerate biological activity.

34. PFAS And Water Quality: What We Know About Forever Chemicals 6/4/2025

    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.

35. England's Water Crisis Needs More Than Just New Reservoirs — Here's What Will Help 6/3/2025
    England is facing a water crisis. The UK government has just announced plans to fast-track two massive reservoir projects in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, warning that without them, we could run out of drinking water by the mid-2030s. But as a hydrologist who studies Britain's often erratic weather patterns, I believe these reservoirs alone won't solve our water problems.
