  1. Interoperability Unlocked: How Connected Systems Will Power Water's Future 9/5/2025

    The full potential of smart water infrastructure is within reach — if our digital systems work together and share critical data.

  2. Smarter Pumps, Lower Emissions: The Digital Reinvention Of San Jose Water 9/5/2025

    Pumps are power-hungry and thus expensive to run, but San Jose Water shows how data-driven technologies and strategies can bring the cost down for utilities.

  3. Aqua TruDense™ Provides Additional Capacity, Improves Settling, And Achieves Enhanced Nutrient Removal 9/4/2025

    A densified sludge process can improve wastewater treatment by promoting larger, denser sludge particles. This enhances settling, improves nutrient removal, and increases treatment capacity.

  4. AI Has A Hidden Water Cost — Here's How To Calculate Yours 9/3/2025
    Artificial intelligence systems are thirsty, consuming as much as 500 milliliters of water — a single-serving water bottle — for each short conversation a user has with the GPT-3 version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT system. They use roughly the same amount of water to draft a 100-word email message.
  5. Megadroughts Are Here To Stay, And U.S. Water Utilities Need To Adapt 9/2/2025
    Researchers warn that California and other states affected by megadroughts — periods of drought lasting 20+ years — will have to accept this as the new normal. That means rethinking the water cycle and finding new, more sustainable water sources.
  6. Unlocking The Potential Of Digital Pressure Transmitters 9/2/2025
    Traditional analog devices are increasingly being replaced by digital solutions, and communication protocols like CANopen are playing a key role in this transition. This shift calls for engineers to assess whether digital pressure transmitters are the best fit for their specific applications.
  7. Optimization Of Wastewater Treatment Plant Processes With The Help Of AI 9/1/2025

    It is more important than ever for cities and municipalities to leverage wastewater treatment plant data to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability, given the increase in energy prices and the rising frequency of severe weather events due to climate change.

  8. Digital Transformation Of WWTPs 9/1/2025

    The importance today of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is clear, as complex systems made up of different processes whose objective is to eliminate all or part of the pollution present in water, becoming a valuable asset for sustainability and the circular economy.

  9. Keys To Successfully Implementing A Digital Water Management Platform 9/1/2025

    The implementation of digital platforms that leverage and integrate advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and artificial intelligence, plays a crucial role in improving water management in all its phases: from catchment and treatment to distribution, use and reuse.

  10. Storm-Proofing Wastewater Infrastructure: Strategies To Protect Coastal Cities 9/1/2025
    When evaluating how to best prepare a city for climate threats, consider lessons from past extreme weather events and evaluate how to apply these lessons to infrastructure challenges. Coastal cities can act now to protect their infrastructure against future risks.
