  1. The Future Is Flowing: Cultivating The Next Generation Of Water Professionals 7/11/2025

    The water sector faces a looming workforce crisis due to an aging demographic and increasing retirements, with about one-third of the workforce eligible to retire in the next decade. This article explores examines how major water utilities are proactively addressing labor challenges and analyzing strategies for cultivating the next generation of water professionals.

  2. LeakZon Hybrid Solution: Modernizing AMR Networks With AMI Intelligence 7/11/2025

    This blog post introduces how the WEAD hybrid system works and how it empowers AMR-based utilities with actionable intelligence immediately, shortening the road to full AMI.

  3. How Industry Is Solving Its Water Supply Crisis 7/10/2025

    The business case for industrial water reuse has fundamentally shifted. Companies once evaluated these systems against environmental goals or regulatory compliance costs. Today, they’re measuring them against operational risk and supply security — a calculation that increasingly favors reuse regardless of sustainability credentials.

  4. AMR Drives Exeter-Merritt Growing Water Network 7/9/2025

    Located in the state of Illinois, Exeter-Merritt Water Cooperative delivers safe and high-quality drinking water to approximately 300 residents from the county of Scott and Morgan. In 2011, the cooperative decided to do a phase 3 expansion and include additional homes in the rural area resulting in connections increasing from 154 to 325. Exeter and Merritt are small rural towns built on hilly terrains and gravel roads, with most of the meters installed in the countryside.

  5. A Dynamic Trio For Water Networks — Smart Metering, Hydraulic Modeling, And AI 7/8/2025

    Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.

  6. The Future Of AI Is Looming 7/8/2025

    When people talk about artificial intelligence, they tend to sort into four camps — doomers, gloomers, bloomers, and zoomers. The doomers fear the robot apocalypse. The gloomers worry AI will automate away all the meaningful jobs. The bloomers are optimistic about AI innovation but want to take a measured approach with guardrails as the technology develops. And the zoomers? They’re already deep into it and want minimal regulation to accelerate progress. But I’d like to add a fifth mindset to the mix: the loomers.

  7. Building A Sustainable Future With Smart Water Solutions 7/7/2025

    In a world facing mounting water stress and increasing demands on utilities, ensuring consistent water quality and minimizing pipeline losses have never been more important.

  8. 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.
  9. 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.
