1. Solving Cavitation Challenges: Understanding Low NPSH Pump Design In Modern Systems 3/2/2026

   Understanding how low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) pump designs work, and why they matter, requires stepping back from component-level thinking to look at how pumps interact with the supply systems.

2. The Skills Gap In Water Engineering: Why Technical Training Needs To Be A Priority 2/26/2026

   There is a widening skills gap in water engineering, which could threaten innovation, service quality, and resilience unless it’s addressed quickly and strategically. At the heart of this challenge lies the need to advance technical training and continuous professional development and ensure that workforce planning is a top priority throughout the industry.

3. AI Agents In Your Water Utility: A Powerful Co-Pilot Or A Risky Takeover? 2/25/2026

   AI agents serve as powerful co-pilots for water utilities, enhancing data analysis and predictive maintenance. By maintaining human oversight, these tools empower operators to optimize network performance and improve resource management through intuitive, data-driven insights.

4. Extreme Weather Is Transforming The World's Rivers. We Need New Ways To Protect Them 2/25/2026
   Around the world, rivers are no longer changing gradually. Rather, they are being increasingly transformed by extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. A newly published global review finds these events are pushing ecosystems beyond their limits and eroding biodiversity and core functions.
5. Pitot Testing: The Gold Standard For Wholesale And Production Meter Accuracy Evaluation 2/24/2026

   For most water utilities, master and production meters represent the system's financial and operational truth. These meters quantify the volume of water entering the distribution network, support water accountability programs, validate NRW calculations, and influence everything from treatment costs to rate structures.

6. EPA Seeks Court‑Ordered Removal Of 4 PFAS Limits 2/23/2026
   The U.S. EPA is testing a new procedural strategy to remove four PFAS drinking‑water limits from ongoing litigation, asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate those limits on the grounds that the EPA itself committed a procedural misstep when issuing the 2024 PFAS rule.
7. Innovative Water Reuse Solutions With Xylem's Advanced Treatment Technology 2/19/2026

   Transitioning to advanced purification methods like UV-hypochlorite oxidation allows municipalities to secure reliable, local water supplies. These strategies mitigate drought risks and protect coastal environments by transforming wastewater into a high-quality resource for reuse.

8. Study Reveals A Comprehensive Guide To IoT Integration For Non-Revenue Water Management 2/18/2026
   A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
9. Produced Water Treatment Market: The Next Big Wave In Industrial Sustainability 2/18/2026
   With the rise of water scarcity, environmental regulations, and corporate sustainability mandates, produced water treatment has become a strategic imperative for industries far beyond oil and gas. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water treatment industry, which has emerged as an amalgamation of environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.
10. Tackling The Trillion-Gallon Problem: Water Loss Reduction Initiatives Benefit Utilities And Consumers Alike 2/17/2026
    In the U.S. alone, 2.7 trillion gallons of water are lost to non-revenue water (NRW) every year, costing water utilities more than $6.4 billion annually in unrealized revenue. Given the scale of the issue — volumes and dollars — NRW presents an opportunity for upscaling utility management.
