  1. Optimization Of Wastewater Treatment Plant Processes With The Help Of AI 9/1/2025

    It is more important than ever for cities and municipalities to leverage wastewater treatment plant data to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability, given the increase in energy prices and the rising frequency of severe weather events due to climate change.

  2. Storm-Proofing Wastewater Infrastructure: Strategies To Protect Coastal Cities 9/1/2025

    When evaluating how to best prepare a city for climate threats, consider lessons from past extreme weather events and evaluate how to apply these lessons to infrastructure challenges. Coastal cities can act now to protect their infrastructure against future risks.

  3. Managing Localized Flooding And Combined Sewer Overflows 8/12/2025

    The public tends to forget about underground infrastructure until systems are stressed or capacity is exceeded and it doesn’t perform as intended. In combined sewer systems, sometimes this results in localized flooding, which can pose hazards to human health, water quality, and the environment, and create financial burdens for utilities.

  4. Why Texas Hill Country, Where A Devastating Flood Killed Dozens, Is One Of The Deadliest Places In The U.S. For Flash Flooding 7/7/2025
    In the early hours of July 4, 2025, a flash flood swept through an area of Texas Hill Country dotted with summer camps and small towns about 70 miles northwest of San Antonio. More than 100 people died in the flooding, officials said on July 7. What makes this part of the country, known as Flash Flood Alley, so dangerous? A flood expert explains.
  5. Combating Climate Change With AI-Driven Smart Water Solutions 7/7/2025

    As climate change continues to intensify, utilities face a growing list of challenges from unpredictable storm events and aging infrastructure to rising energy demands and water scarcity. These evolving external pressures are forcing utility leaders to reimagine infrastructure and operations, adopt resilient systems, and pursue sustainable practices grounded in data.

  6. Enabling Flood Defenses By Creating More Accurate Wave Modelling 6/4/2025

    The Dutch Flood Defence Authority was experiencing difficulties in planning the height and construction style of dykes to prevent flooding at minimum cost because it does not have accurate data on sea behavior in storm conditions.

  7. Rushville Installs AquaStorm® Cloth Media Filters To Treat Combined Sewer Overflow Discharge Instead Of Conventional Wet Weather Storage Tank 6/4/2025

    Discover why, rather than installing a costly stormwater storage tank, the City of Rushville partnered with Aqua-Aerobic Systems to pilot the AquaStorm Cloth Media Filter.

  8. EPM Models Aburra Valley Sewerage System To Increase Flood Resilience And Mitigate Climate Change 4/17/2025

    Using advanced hydraulic modeling, EPM is analyzing how water flows through the sewerage system to inform decisions about operations, maintenance, network expansion, and environmental impact mitigation.

  9. How Capturing Rain Can Contribute To Environmental Safety 1/7/2025
    There are many ways to capture stormwater — whether as a homeowner, business, or municipality — and even more benefits.
  10. How Green Infrastructure Could Help Sewers Overwhelmed By Climate Change 12/27/2024
    Increasing population means sewers are sometimes overwhelmed without any rainfall at all. Then, add climate change to the mix. Heavier downpours are becoming more common, which spells trouble for sewer systems that simply cannot cope with increasing volumes of water. A combined sewer system is especially vulnerable.
