  1. Real-Time Monitoring: An Opportunity To Engage In Potable Reuse And Detect Failures Quickly 5/3/2017

    With public safety of primary concern, real-time sensors may be the catalyst for assurance and expansion of potable reuse treatment schemes.

  2. Established Routine: How To Sample For Unknown Contaminants 4/10/2017

    The U.S. EPA has updated its sampling guidance for determining and fighting against unknown contaminants in drinking water. Here’s why routine preparation can be a utility’s best friend in case of emergency.

  3. Understanding Big Data In The Water Industry 3/20/2017

    If you feel like you have too much data but not enough understandable or usable information, fine-tuning data collection and funneling it into an integrated data management system may be the way to become more proactive and make better decisions.

  4. Redefining The Water Utility Business Model: Is It A Pipe Dream? 12/15/2016

    Last week, a two-inch thick, ductile iron section of a water main broke and flooded a densely populated part of downtown Boston — sparking manhole fires, deluging businesses, and snarling traffic while utility crews rushed to repair the ruptured main.

  5. The Water Council Wants To Find Your Next Great Technology 12/1/2016

    A new initiative will test the theory that some of the next great water technologies are right under our noses, without us even realizing it.

  6. DNA Sequencing: The Future Of Water And Wastewater Analysis? 11/16/2016

    DNA sequencing can provide more information on water and wastewater than traditional methods. Is it time for treatment operations to adopt the method?

  7. Helping Small Systems Take A Big Stand Against PFCs 11/11/2016

    The U.S. EPA lends advice on how small systems can combat increasingly troublesome PFC contamination.

  8. Top 10 Technologies From WEFTEC 2016 10/25/2016

    300,000 square feet. That was the size of the tradeshow floor at WEFTEC, the world's largest annual water quality exhibition. I didn't see every technology showcased last month in New Orleans (over a thousand exhibitors were on hand), but here’s a “best of” list from the many that I came across — a snapshot of various technologies that stood out from the masses, exceptional for their level of innovation and potential for industry impact.

  9. Modern Technology For Combating Bacterial Water Contamination 9/19/2016

    Mobile-enabled geographic information systems (GIS) herald a new age for bacterial source tracking, allowing increased stakeholder involvement, more informed decision-making, and enhanced water quality.

  10. Bacteria Monitoring In 3D 8/10/2016

    Monitoring of bacteria in drinking water is not perfect, but the perfect compromise between the reliability of lab testing and the speed of indirect sensors may have been found — an optical, online system that provides better protection for consumers by being just good enough.
