  1. AI Could Solve America's Infrastructure Problem. Institutions Need To Let Engineers Use It. 8/25/2025

    The state of America’s crumbling infrastructure continues to be a perennial concern as the scale of the problem continually outpaces both the funding and the human resources needed to solve it. Engineers have the solution — AI systems that offer unprecedented speed and potential cost savings — but to leverage its full potential, engineers need to take on a new role — and potentially a new business model.

  2. Water Conservation And Reuse For Data Centers 8/25/2025

    Because of our own decades-long mismanagement of our collective global water resources, we are now facing a global freshwater crisis where the demand for freshwater is predicted to exceed its supply by 40% by the year 2030. Directly coinciding with the water crisis timeline is the growing need for data center construction in order to accommodate AI, cloud computing, and other Big Data and IoT processing.

  3. A New Era In Federal Procurement Has Launched 8/19/2025
    Federal procurement is getting a major makeover. Big changes have occurred, and more are on the horizon. Companies that sell into the federal marketplace definitely need to carefully monitor what is happening.
  4. How FlexNet NaaS Delivers Utility-Grade AMI Without Upfront Costs 8/12/2025

    As operational costs rise and aging infrastructure strains budgets, many water utilities are turning to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to reduce non-revenue water, streamline operations, and deliver better customer service. 

  5. As The Colorado River Slowly Dries Up, States Angle For Influence Over Future Water Rights 8/11/2025
    The Colorado River is in trouble: Not as much water flows into the river as people are entitled to take out of it. A new idea might change that, but complicated political and practical negotiations stand in the way.
  6. Operational Resilience Through Temporary Water Reuse Solutions 8/11/2025

    Temporary water reuse systems help industrial plants avoid costly downtime by maintaining treatment capabilities during maintenance, failure, or testing—offering fast deployment, flexibility, and permanent-quality results.

  7. How GenAI Is Supercharging Digital Transformation For Rural Water Utilities Across The United States 8/7/2025

  8. AI's Water Problem Is Worse Than You Think (But It Doesn't Have To Be) 8/4/2025
    There's little doubt that AI is quickly becoming a powerful if not essential tool in our society. It's being used to help boost efficiencies and productivity in myriad ways — including for the research portion of this article. However, this productivity doesn't come for free. One of the biggest costs associated with AI is its demand for water.
  9. Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities 7/31/2025

    In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

  10. 3D Printing Concrete Reshapes Water Infrastructure, Layer By Layer 7/30/2025
    While three-dimensional printing has existed for some time, its impact on the water and wastewater industry has been almost negligible. Widespread adoption has dragged, potentially due to uncertainty. One recent development in 3D printing concrete is poised to change that.
