81. 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.
82. 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.

83. 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?
84. 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.

    Discover how PFAS-selective ion exchange resin offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional filtration methods. This case study details the transition to non-detectable contamination levels, showcasing the performance advantages of resin technology in securing resilient, high-quality public water supplies.

86. 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.
87. 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?
88. Powdered Activated Carbon: A Flexible Tool For Targeted Treatment Challenges 5/1/2026
    Treatment plants most often deploy carbon in two forms: granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). While GAC is widely used for steady-state, long-term contaminant control, PAC offers an alternative, versatile, rapid-response approach. In these six scenarios, PAC is the ideal solution.
89. Eradicating High-Strength Nitrogen Loads Without Expanding Your Aeration Basins 5/1/2026
    When decision-makers assess the best ways to deal with high-strength nitrogen loads in their wastewater treatment plants, an important thing for them to remember is that biological treatment methods alone typically cannot handle all of a facility’s nutrient load. Instead, they should consider how a combination of physical-chemical extraction methods can provide an extremely reliable, small footprint method for handling above-average loads.
