41. AI's Water Problem Is Worse Than You Think (But It Doesn't Have To Be) 8/4/2025
    There's little doubt that AI is quickly becoming a powerful if not essential tool in our society. It's being used to help boost efficiencies and productivity in myriad ways — including for the research portion of this article. However, this productivity doesn't come for free. One of the biggest costs associated with AI is its demand for water.
42. Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities 7/31/2025

    In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

43. 3D Printing Concrete Reshapes Water Infrastructure, Layer By Layer 7/30/2025
    While three-dimensional printing has existed for some time, its impact on the water and wastewater industry has been almost negligible. Widespread adoption has dragged, potentially due to uncertainty. One recent development in 3D printing concrete is poised to change that.
44. No Chlorine, No Contamination: A Cleaner Future For Wastewater Reuse 7/28/2025

    As municipalities worldwide look to reuse water for agriculture, industry, and tertiary treatment such as filtration and disinfection prior to discharge or reuse for irrigation or industrial purposes, one inconvenient truth continues to lurk in the pipes: chlorine.
