  1. Minimizing System Footprint Without Compromising Oxidation Performance 9/25/2025

    Footprint minimization in oxidation systems relies on highly efficient inline injection and modular, stackable components. This approach achieves full performance with significant space savings, reducing construction and installation costs.

  2. The Hidden Cost: Uncovering The Truth About Non-Revenue Water 9/25/2025

    Non-revenue water drains utility budgets, resources, and public trust. Audits, ultrasonic metering with acoustic leak detection, and community engagement provide practical, cost-effective steps to curb losses and improve efficiency.

  3. De-Risking Chemical Contamination In Non-Potable Reuse Water Applications 9/24/2025

    Discover how German scientists piloted edible crop irrigation with reuse water at a German water reclamation facility to create a comprehensive chemical risk assessment framework, progressing reuse’s feasibility in Europe.

  4. Extracting Water From Air: A Historical And Military Perspective 9/23/2025

    In the early 2000s, I was consulting for a military contractor on expanding their mobile water treatment system for military applications. As part of that work, I researched other water supply technologies used by the U.S. military, including atmospheric water generation (AWG) — the process of extracting potable water directly from the air.

  5. Ozone Vs. UV-AOP: Choosing The Right Path For Advanced Water Treatment 9/22/2025

    Ozone and UV-AOP each offer powerful contaminant removal for drinking water, wastewater, and reuse applications. Their unique strengths—and potential synergy—help utilities meet diverse treatment goals efficiently.

  6. Demand Based Flushing Using AMI And Water Quality Sensors 9/21/2025

    Improve efficiency and water quality with demand-based flushing. The integration of sensors and smart networks allows utilities to remotely monitor and optimize flushing cycles.

  7. Minnetonka, MN Pilots Acoustic Pipe Assessment Prior To Road Resurfacing 9/19/2025

    A Minnesota suburb used non-invasive acoustic technology to assess an aging water main before a 20-year road construction moratorium. This critical data allowed them to confidently prioritize pipe renewals and better manage their infrastructure budget.

  8. What Water Utilities Need To Know About Climate Adaptation 9/18/2025
    No one knows more than water utilities how changing climate conditions are impacting the challenges and costs of delivering clean drinking water to communities they serve. In a recent episode of The Water Online Show, climate experts Jesse M. Keenan from Tulane University and Edgar Westerhof of Arcadis discussed the issue of resiliency for drinking water and wastewater systems.
  9. Droughts Don't Just Dry Up Water — They Drain Livelihoods And Weaken Local Economies 9/15/2025
    Droughts hit utilities and agriculture hardest. Shrinking water supplies wilt crops and strain water providers. But the impact extends far beyond them.
  10. Securing Smart Water 9/5/2025

    The digital transformation of utilities is necessary and inevitable but also innately vulnerable to bad actors. It's time to discuss prioritizing cybersecurity.
