Latest Insights on Drinking Water Measurement

1. Why The Water Sector's AI Ambitions Depend On Better Connectivity 6/4/2026

   For AI to deliver real operational value, it needs a constant flow of reliable operational data. AI systems are relentlessly data-hungry, and the more data, the better. Yet, accessing this data remains a major challenge in the utilities sector, with remote reservoirs, wastewater treatment works, and sprawling infrastructure often located a long way from traditional cellular networks. 

2. Do Water Meters Still Need External Transmitters? 5/1/2026
   Expectations for transparency and reliability in water-metering infrastructure have risen. As a result, a fundamental question is emerging across the industry: if modern ultrasonic meters are already smart, why are we still adding intelligence outside the meter?
3. Why Haven't Field Tests For Lead In Water Gone Mainstream? 1/15/2026
   Given the maturation of sensor technology, the scientific and operational hurdles to portable lead analysis are somewhat surprising — but surmountable.
4. Legionella And The Need For Next-Generation Detection: Steps Water Utilities Can Take To Alleviate The Risk 12/8/2025
   As water systems grow more complex and climate patterns shift, Legionella is emerging as one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in the built environment. The threat to public health from Legionnaires' disease will likely further escalate unless decisive action is taken.
5. 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.”
6. From Theory To Precision: ORP Monitoring As The New Standard In Water Treatment 7/3/2025
   On numerous levels, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) outperforms the presently predominant metric for evaluating disinfection performance.
7. The Role Of AI In Reducing Water Contamination Risks 5/2/2025
   Insights gained from artificial intelligence (AI) herald a high-water mark for public protection.
8. From Source To Tap: Promoting Home Water Testing Year-Round 3/25/2025
   Water specialists do their best to ensure safe drinking water for people nationwide. Despite their diligence in monitoring and treating wastewater at municipal facilities, some households are still susceptible to contamination. Encouraging homeowners to regularly test their own water during the year will help pinpoint missed hazards and provide an additional safeguard.
9. PFAS Testing Boom: U.S. Analytical Instrumentation Market Set For Rapid Expansion 3/6/2025
   The U.S. PFAS analytical instrumentation market is poised for strong expansion, with a projected CAGR exceeding 20% over the next seven years, according to a new report. Key drivers in the market include rising concerns over increasing risks associated with PFAS exposure, the U.S. EPA's federal rule on drinking water, and investments to boost testing and treating PFAS in water.
10. Machine Learning And The Future Of Water Quality Monitoring 3/6/2025

    Aided by "soft sensors," machine learning is revolutionizing monitoring and powering real-time predictions.
