31. AI, Data Centers, And Water 11/25/2025
    Amid the AI-fueled gold rush, more leaders are beginning to pay attention to the short- and long-term natural resource concerns, especially around all the water needed to keep data centers running.
32. Is This The End Of Affordable Water? 11/24/2025
    Water pricing often fails to reflect scarcity, quality, or long-term risk, forcing companies to act internally. But this action is not being done in a vacuum. The ripple effect of internal water pricing is bound to impact water utilities, and ultimately, ratepayers and consumers.
33. PFAS Settlements: Debunking The Myths And Revealing What's Really At Stake For Water Utilities 11/19/2025
    Misinformation and confusion could prevent some utilities from benefitting from the aqueous film-forming foam multidistrict litigation (AFFF MDL) settlements. Here are five common myths about the AFFF MDL PFAS settlements and how public water systems can make the most of this unprecedented funding opportunity.
34. 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.

35. 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.
36. 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.”
37. 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.

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

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

39. 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.

40. 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.
