Drinking Water Features

  1. Safe Sanitation For Students: 2025 World Toilet Day 11/17/2025

    Every year on November 19, Water Mission observes World Toilet Day — a day designated by the United Nations to focus on the importance of safe sanitation for all.

  2. 2026 Water Utility Outlook: Regulation, AI, And Resilience In The Face Of Scarcity 11/12/2025
    Global Water Outcomes expert notes that “water utilities are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities,” citing the role of digital solutions moving forward.
  3. HAAs In The EU: Monitoring For Haloacetic Acids Under The Drinking Water Directive 11/7/2025
    In this Q&A, Dr. Elke Süss of Metrohm addresses the urgent need for haloacetic acid testing in response to “one of the most significant updates to EU drinking water monitoring in recent years.”
  4. Reshaping Resilience: How Tech Giants And Utilities Are Confronting The Global Water Crisis 10/30/2025

    Water scarcity is increasingly impacting sectors from agriculture and energy to urban planning and high-tech manufacturing. Recently, industry leaders gathered to explore how new technologies and complex industrial demands are forcing a fundamental rethinking of water infrastructure.

  5. When Chemistry Meets Water Innovation 10/30/2025

    Nobel-winning molecular materials are poised to reinvent purification, desalination, and reuse.

  6. Breakthrough Recyclable Polyimide Membranes Transform Wastewater And High-Salinity Water Treatment 10/28/2025

    Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.

  7. Cut Costs, Cut Timelines: Rethink Your Next Water Project 10/14/2025

    Small municipalities and industrial sites face constant pressure: deliver safe, stable water with limited resources and tight deadlines. Traditional on-site construction can stretch project schedules by months and introduce quality and cost risks. By shifting much of the fabrication off-site, these risks are dramatically reduced.

  8. How Digital Payments Infrastructure Increases Hurricane Preparedness 9/26/2025
    The 2024 hurricane season was one of the most severe on record, creating unprecedented destruction to the tune of $182.7 billion worth of damage. Scientists predict that this year's storm season, which officially began June 1, will likely be highly active and volatile as well. As hurricanes become more difficult to accurately predict and prepare for, the damage caused by burst pipes, flooding, downed trees and debris, and disrupted utilities is also increasing.
  9. From The War Of Currents To The Water Grid: Lessons In Infrastructure, Innovation, And Integration 9/25/2025

    How Edison vs. Tesla shapes today's approach to sustainable water systems.

  10. Extracting Water From Air: A Historical And Military Perspective 9/23/2025

    In the early 2000s, I was consulting for a military contractor on expanding their mobile water treatment system for military applications. As part of that work, I researched other water supply technologies used by the U.S. military, including atmospheric water generation (AWG) — the process of extracting potable water directly from the air.
