11. Paradise Regained: How Digital Twins Saved A Bahamian Resort's Water Supply 5/8/2026

    Island utilities face unique resource constraints and infrastructure risks. Implementing digital twins provides the real-time visibility needed to reduce water loss, simulate emergency scenarios, and optimize system performance to ensure long-term operational resilience.

12. Brine Valorization — The Future Of Desalination 5/7/2026

    Brine valorization plants are the next step in the evolution of desalination technology which opens a new horizon for wider use of desalination as a baseline source of drought-proof and environmentally and fiscally sustainable water supply.

13. Why Energy Efficiency Is The Quietest Form Of Risk Management 5/7/2026

    For the better part of a decade, industrial electricity prices behaved like a slowly shifting floor. From 2016 through 2020, wholesale prices in most major markets were remarkably stable. A plant built in 2018 could reasonably expect its electricity costs to drift, not lurch, through the early 2020s. That baseline is gone.

14. Distribution Maintenance & Repair Techniques to Avoid System Shutdown 5/7/2026

    This course educates water and sewer industry professionals on how valve insertion techniques can reduce risks and costs while providing a more productive way to maintain and repair distribution systems without a complete system shutdown.

15. The Devastating Legacy Of Algaecides: Why The Quick Fix Is Failing Our Lakes 5/6/2026
    As warmer months approach, water management professionals must confront the compounding consequences of biocidal algae treatments.
16. Insta-Valve 250 Proof Of Design Standards 5/5/2026

    Only one insertion valve meets or exceeds AWWA C509/C515 Proof-of-Design Standards: the Insta-Valve® 250 from Hydra-Stop. We put the valve through vigorous testing to prove it.

17. Innovations In Drought-Resilience Infrastructure Financing 5/5/2026
    To build drought-resilience in water utilities, it is critical to be able to respond to water supply threats quickly. That also means it's essential to have the necessary financing solutions. The question is, then, where does the money come from?
18. Building AI Readiness In Wastewater Utilities: Lessons From CVWRF 5/5/2026
    Many utilities are asking a practical question: How do we move beyond hype and implement AI in a way that delivers measurable, sustainable value? At the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility (CVWRF), the answer has been to focus less on tools and more on readiness.
19. The Water Industry's Talent Crisis Won't Wait 5/5/2026
    The water sector has evolved from a mostly mechanical industry into one driven by software and data. What hasn’t kept pace is the workforce.
20. Do Water Meters Still Need External Transmitters? 5/1/2026

    Expectations for transparency and reliability in water-metering infrastructure have risen. As a result, a fundamental question is emerging across the industry: if modern ultrasonic meters are already smart, why are we still adding intelligence outside the meter?
