Latest Insights on Wastewater Measurement

1. A Redefined Edge For Agentic AI: Converging Compute And Networking 3/19/2026

   Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act, and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of WAN infrastructure architecture.

2. Keeping Water Safe In A Connected World 3/13/2026

   Water utilities were never designed to sit on the front line of geopolitics or organized cybercrime.

3. Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization 3/13/2026

   Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.

4. 2026 Predictions: The Next Frontier Of Water Starts Now 1/15/2026
   Emerging trends signal a new era of agility, ethics, and resilience for water professionals.
5. Down And Dirty With Digital: How AI Enhances Water Infrastructure Fieldwork 1/14/2026

   Fieldwork is at the heart of infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation, as utilities, engineers, and contractors collaborate to build the systems and structures that treat and move water. The opportunity is great, but so are the challenges. Which is why new, digitally-enhanced tools are needed.

6. The New Cyber Risk Challenging America's Water: Modernization Itself 1/12/2026
   The integration of IT and OT systems has unlocked significant benefits — from enhanced operational visibility to smarter decision-making — and reflects years of hard work and commitment to innovation. This progress is a foundation for the next phase: strengthening defenses in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
7. Agentic AI In The Water Sector: From Chatbots To Digital Operators 1/9/2026

   If AI can inform decisions, can it also help execute them? For the water sector, this distinction is not just semantic; it is the difference between a digital assistant that takes notes and a digital operator that turns valves.

8. Why Digital Solutions Still Struggle To Gain Traction At Utilities 12/1/2025
   Utilities need greater efficiency, lower costs, and more visibility. So, one would think the uptake for digital solutions would be smoother and faster. But it’s not. Why?
9. How Advanced Process Controls Empower Operators, Enhance Effluent Quality, Save Energy, And Reduce Emissions At WWTPs 10/30/2025

   Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.

10. The Hidden Costs Of Legacy Operational Technology 10/30/2025

    Water and wastewater utilities can get stuck in a cycle of upgrading their legacy operational technology systems. Here’s how to break that cycle.
