Latest Insights on Water Reuse

  1. These Cities Are Testing Small-Scale Treatment Systems And Wastewater Recycling 12/15/2023

    A lot can go wrong in a large urban water system. Pumps malfunction. Valves break. Pipes leak. Even when the system is functioning properly, water can sit in pipes for long periods of time. Water shortages are also a growing problem in a warming world, as communities across the Southwestern U.S. and in many developing nations are discovering. That's why cities have started experimenting with small-scale alternatives — including wastewater recycling and localized water treatment strategies known as decentralized or distributed systems.

  2. Re-Thinking The Global Challenge Of Water Scarcity 8/22/2023
    During World Water Week, participants from every corner of the world are meeting to discuss solutions to the planet's greatest water challenges, such as poverty, the climate crisis, and biodiversity loss. This year's focus is on innovation at a time of unprecedented challenges.
  3. 3 Innovative Ways PepsiCo Is Implementing Circular Water Systems 8/18/2023
    The pervasive and increasing incidence of water stress could perhaps be the most clear-cut consequence of climate change. As weather patterns become increasingly erratic and destructive, floods and drought are continuing to deplete water resources. We're no longer seeing predictable rainy and dry seasons to balance water tables. Couple this with growing and migrating populations that create an ever-increasing water demand, and the result is the undeniable water stress we're seeing globally.
  4. Managed Aquifer Recharge Key To Water Reclamation 7/7/2023
    With the great need to get water back into circulation to satisfy high demand, managed aquifer recharge (MAR) via decentralized wastewater treatment is proving to be an effective solution.
  5. Net-Zero Water Utilities For A Sustainable Future 4/26/2023
    Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. As a result, climate change occurs, significantly affecting water resources by intensifying the water cycle, which in turn causes more severe rainfall, flooding, and droughts in various regions.
  6. Increasing Water Shortage To Boost Wastewater Recovery Systems Market 4/20/2023

    With the worsening scenario of water scarcity across major world economies, the need for deploying wastewater recovery systems stands crucial to ensure the availability of fresh water among the masses.

  7. Growing Popularity Of Ultrafiltration To Boost Hollow Fiber Membrane Market 3/21/2023

    Global water usage has increased multifold over the recent decades due to various factors, including consistent population growth, changing consumption patterns, and fast-paced economic growth.

  8. World Water Day 2023: How The Water Industry Can “Accelerate Change” 3/13/2023

    Globally, we are on a tight schedule to get our planet moving in the right direction regarding the climate crisis. While the COP (Conference of the Parties) meetings are working to collaborate and design a plan to contain the threats at hand, we still lack major negotiating deadlines. With World Water Day 2023 coming up on March 22 with the theme of “Accelerating Change”, the day urges individuals to recognize how they consume and manage water in their lives and make necessary changes to help utilize it better.

  9. Navigating Contaminants Of Emerging Concern 3/9/2023
    Two recent research projects — one to improve potable reuse, the other to stop the proliferation of PFAS — look to source control as the key leverage point.
  10. When It Comes To Water, California Is The Canary In The Gold Mine 2/14/2023

    Talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago, the malaprop "canary in the gold mine" popped into the conversation. That was worth a chuckle, but then a moment of reflection. What a perfect way to describe California, nicknamed The Golden State by eager miners during the Gold Rush of the 1840s and '50s, that has been yielding a steady stream of riches from its farms, forests, mines, and minds ever since.
