  3. After 50 Years Of Water Treatment Innovation, Why Is Advanced Oxidation Entering Its Most Important Decade? 10/6/2026

    As utilities tackle persistent micropollutants, expand water reuse and meet more demanding treatment requirements, advanced oxidation is being asked to solve problems conventional approaches were not designed to address.

  4. Turning Invasive Plants Into Powerful Filters For Fluoride-Contaminated Water 10/6/2026

    Excess fluoride in water is a persistent environmental and public health concern in many parts of the world. Now, researchers have developed a new plant-derived material that can capture fluoride efficiently while also creating value from invasive plant biomass.

  5. Newly Available Satellite Data Shows Just How Flawed Some River Models Can Be 10/6/2026

    “Is there enough water? What’s happening with climate change? How do I operate my hydro plant? In a world of water problems, there are problems that we need a good model to solve,” says Colin Gleason, a hydrologist in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. But the models are only as good as the math that they’re based on, and, short of measuring every river in the world, there is no way to check this on a global scale.

  6. The Reuse Of Wastewater Enhances Nutrient Recycling And Conserves Clean Water 10/6/2026

    Due to climate change and its drastic effects, such as drought, and also the turmoil of production factor markets for primary producers, the demand of recycled nutrients and reuse of water has strongly increased.
