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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
