31. The Role Of Fluorometers In Environmental Health Monitoring 10/5/2025

    Continuous fluorescence measurements provide immediate insights into water health, detecting microbial contamination, nutrient pollution, and harmful algal blooms faster than traditional lab analysis.

32. The Future Of Water Quality Monitoring 10/5/2025

    Real-time sensing is replacing traditional sampling to deliver essential water quality insights. Overcoming challenges like sensor biofouling and data management is the critical next step in ensuring future water resource protection.

33. How AI Can Solve The "Silver Tsunami" And Support Small Water Utilities 10/3/2025
    While far from prolific, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the water and wastewater industry are nothing new. AI and machine learning have been used for data analytics for years. However, for small utilities and those with an aging workforce, these tools seem too high tech and costly to be practical. This doesn’t have to be the case, though. AI tools — particularly generative AI (Gen AI) and large language models (LLMs) — are able to address critical workforce shortages and resource constraints within the water and wastewater industry.
34. Flood-Prone Houston Faces Hard Choices For Handling Too Much Water 10/3/2025
    There are three potential options to contain floods with tunnels to direct excess water out of Houston to the coast. As researchers who study disaster resilience, we bring complementary expertise to analyzing this complex discussion. Here are what we see as the key factors for the city to consider.
35. Regulations And Standards For Water Quality Monitoring 10/2/2025

    Understanding global and national water standards is essential for compliance and safety. Rapid changes in regulation and the rise of emerging contaminants demand smarter, data-driven monitoring strategies.

36. Advances In UV Disinfection For Wastewater Tertiary Treatment In Open Channels 10/2/2025

    Meeting modern water reuse goals requires moving past legacy disinfection. Advances in UV technology now provide chemical-free, reliable pathogen inactivation for even high-flow, open-channel tertiary treatment.

37. Precision Under Pressure: Engineering Custom Solutions For Pipe Emergencies 9/29/2025

    Emergency pipe repairs demand speed and accuracy. Custom engineered fittings ensure reliability in non-standard conditions, minimizing downtime, avoiding costly damage, and restoring service with precision and efficiency.

38. How Digital Payments Infrastructure Increases Hurricane Preparedness 9/26/2025
    The 2024 hurricane season was one of the most severe on record, creating unprecedented destruction to the tune of $182.7 billion worth of damage. Scientists predict that this year's storm season, which officially began June 1, will likely be highly active and volatile as well. As hurricanes become more difficult to accurately predict and prepare for, the damage caused by burst pipes, flooding, downed trees and debris, and disrupted utilities is also increasing.
