  1. Arizona Takes Control Over Injection Wells, A Game Changer for Water Security 10/6/2025

    On September 10, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a major regulatory shift, granting the State of Arizona primary enforcement authority, or "primacy," over all classes of underground injection wells within its borders.

  2. The Role Of Fluorometers In Environmental Health Monitoring 10/5/2025

    Continuous fluorescence measurements provide immediate insights into water health, detecting microbial contamination, nutrient pollution, and harmful algal blooms faster than traditional lab analysis.

  3. The Future Of Water Quality Monitoring 10/5/2025

    Real-time sensing is replacing traditional sampling to deliver essential water quality insights. Overcoming challenges like sensor biofouling and data management is the critical next step in ensuring future water resource protection.

  4. Responsible Reclamation – City of Abilene, Texas 9/25/2025

    To combat drought, Abilene, Texas, implemented a reuse system utilizing O3​ + BAC to remove trace organics. This solution met strict standards, ensured water resilience, and proved more cost-effective than AOP alternatives.

  5. De-Risking Chemical Contamination In Non-Potable Reuse Water Applications 9/24/2025

    Discover how German scientists piloted edible crop irrigation with reuse water at a German water reclamation facility to create a comprehensive chemical risk assessment framework, progressing reuse’s feasibility in Europe.

  6. Ozone Vs. UV-AOP: Choosing The Right Path For Advanced Water Treatment 9/22/2025

    Ozone and UV-AOP each offer powerful contaminant removal for drinking water, wastewater, and reuse applications. Their unique strengths—and potential synergy—help utilities meet diverse treatment goals efficiently.

  7. AEC System Proven Effective For Chloride Removal 9/16/2025

    In two bench-scale tests, a new technology effectively removed up to 99% of chlorides and 97% of total dissolved solids in a single pass. This solution offers a commercially viable alternative to traditional treatment methods.

  8. Hidden Aquifer Could Help Solve The Water Crisis 9/11/2025

    In a first-of-its-kind research expedition, a team extracted thousands of water samples from an unlikely source: a hidden aquifer that is thought to stretch from New Jersey to Maine.

  9. Material That Breaks Down In Seawater Could Be The Answer To Microplastic Problem 9/8/2025

    Our modern society generates around 460 million metric tons of plastic waste each year, with around 20 million ending up in the environment, particularly water bodies. Plastics take decades to decompose, with some types requiring hundreds of years. Even worse, as they do break down, they form microplastics, which end up being consumed by wildlife and ultimately people.

  10. Operational Resilience Through Temporary Water Reuse Solutions 8/11/2025

    Temporary water reuse systems help industrial plants avoid costly downtime by maintaining treatment capabilities during maintenance, failure, or testing—offering fast deployment, flexibility, and permanent-quality results.
