  1. Inside The Blueprint To Standardize State Water Reuse Regulations 7/6/2026

    Water scarcity in the U.S. is increasing almost as rapidly as demand for clean drinking water. In response, more municipalities and public utilities are actively pivoting toward water reuse strategies. Yet many of these projects are running up against an archaic administrative bottleneck. 

  2. How Cedar Hills Turned Metering Data Into A Conservation Tool 7/2/2026

    As water scarcity increases, smart metering infrastructure bridges the gap between utilities and consumers. Providing residents with near real-time consumption data and automated leak alerts drives immediate conservation, slashing outdoor water waste while protecting critical resources.

  3. The Enzyme Bottleneck: Why Conventional Lake Management Is Failing — And What The Science Says About Genuine Bio-Dredging 6/30/2026

    For decades, the dominant framework for assessing and managing lake health has been built around surface water measurements: chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus, water clarity, and the composite Trophic State Index derived from them. These metrics are familiar, standardised, and widely accepted. They are also, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed literature, measuring the wrong part of the lake.

  4. Ozone Off-Gas: What It Reveals About System Efficiency, Safety, and Design 6/18/2026

    Learn how ozone off-gas impacts system efficiency, safety, and performance, and why monitoring and management are critical for optimized water treatment operations.

  5. Protecting The World's Most Essential Resource: How Utilities Can Navigate Growing Risks To Drinking Water Supply 6/9/2026
    Protecting drinking water supply has become more complex, more urgent, and less predictable as utilities navigate a convergence of pressures, including climate variability, emerging contaminants, and accelerating population growth. Together, these trends are redefining what it means to deliver safe, reliable drinking water. Yet within this disruption lies a critical opportunity.
  6. UK Reservoirs, Water Shortages, And Legionella Risks 6/9/2026
    Is there a clear link between a less plentiful water supply and an increase in Legionella in our domestic water systems?
  7. The Circular Dividend: Managing Water As A Strategic Boardroom Asset 6/5/2026

    For decades, industrial operators have treated water through a transactional lens as a commodity utility expense to be bought, utilized, treated, and discharged. However, the operational realities of a water-stressed world require a profound organizational shift.

  8. Artificial Intelligence May Be Fueling The Future, But Water Will Sustain It 6/3/2026
    AI is reshaping industries at extraordinary speed, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing, logistics, and retail. As AI adoption accelerates, data centers have become the physical backbone of the digital world. Yet behind every compute cycle lies a critical resource that rarely receives the same level of attention: water.
  9. Why Energy Efficiency Is The Quietest Form Of Risk Management 5/7/2026
    For the better part of a decade, industrial electricity prices behaved like a slowly shifting floor. From 2016 through 2020, wholesale prices in most major markets were remarkably stable. A plant built in 2018 could reasonably expect its electricity costs to drift, not lurch, through the early 2020s. That baseline is gone.
  10. The Devastating Legacy Of Algaecides: Why The Quick Fix Is Failing Our Lakes 5/6/2026
    As warmer months approach, water management professionals must confront the compounding consequences of biocidal algae treatments.
