Drinking Water Features

1. Critical Infrastructure Fails The Way It's Funded 3/17/2026

   Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.

2. Geotechnical IoT Shifts Water Infrastructure From Reactive To Predictive 3/13/2026

   Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.

3. When Drinking Water Raises Bigger Questions About Brain Health And Environmental Risk 3/13/2026
   A new study linking certain groundwater sources to higher Parkinson’s risk underscores a broader question for the water sector: how environmental exposures in drinking water may influence long-term health.
4. Filtration Media For Municipal, Industrial, And Landscape Water Treatment: Legacy And Novel Technologies 3/13/2026

   The growing demand for water across a variety of sectors combined with the increasingly understood complexity of emerging contaminants is creating a dynamic marketplace for filtration media. The goal of selecting the right filtration media is not to meet minimum standards but to achieve the right balance of performance, durability, and operational simplicity to ensure long-term compliance and cost-effective operation.

5. Scaling Water Reuse: New State Regulatory Guides And What They Mean For Treatment Design 3/11/2026

   Emerging state water reuse regulations are driving adoption of ozone and advanced oxidation, requiring flexible, high-performance systems to meet pathogen, trace organic, and DBP control objectives.

6. EPA's Proposed Perchlorate Regulation: What It Means For Treatment Engineers And Oxidation Strategies 3/11/2026

   EPA’s proposed perchlorate regulation challenges utilities to integrate advanced oxidation and separation technologies, enabling reliable removal, regulatory compliance, and flexible treatment for emerging contaminants.

7. Ozone Contactors: The Engineering Variable That Determines Oxidation Success 3/11/2026

   Ozone system performance hinges on reactor design, not generator size. Efficient mass transfer, hydraulic integrity, and contact time ensure consistent oxidation, reduced energy use, and reliable treatment results.

8. Engineering Beyond Obsolescence: Designing Ozone Systems That Evolve With Time 3/11/2026

   Pinnacle’s QuadBlock ozone system allows water treatment plants to modernize ozone generation modules without replacing cabinets, extending system life, boosting efficiency, and integrating modern controls seamlessly.

9. Ozone Formulas And Conversions 3/9/2026

   Learn key ozone formulas, unit conversions, and measurement standards to accurately calculate generator output, concentration, and dosage for effective system design, performance verification, and safe operation.

10. Persian Gulf Desalination Plants Could Become Military Targets In Regional War 3/6/2026
    Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region use the fossil fuels under their desert lands not only to make money, but also to make drinking water. The petroleum they produce powers more than 400 desalination plants, which turn seawater into drinkable water.
