Wastewater Features

1. Governments Need To Prepare For More Frequent Large Floods 12/5/2025
   While many scientific and technical reports show that floods are becoming larger and more common, reports underestimate how their frequency is changing. Flood sizes get the spotlight, but governments and experts need to also consider their frequency to address implications overlooked by traditional management methods.
2. How Artificial Grass Installations Help Reduce Stormwater Runoff And Improve Local Ecosystems 11/24/2025

   In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.

3. How Advanced Process Controls Empower Operators, Enhance Effluent Quality, Save Energy, And Reduce Emissions At WWTPs 10/30/2025

   Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.

4. How To Strengthen Your Flow Monitoring Strategy … Before The Next Overflow 10/30/2025

   Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.

5. Pretreatment Filtration For Small Systems: The Expensive Pitfalls Of Low-Cost Equipment 10/30/2025

   When seeking bids for a fair comparison, it’s important to evaluate the total cost of ownership.

6. Breakthrough Recyclable Polyimide Membranes Transform Wastewater And High-Salinity Water Treatment 10/28/2025

   Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.

7. How Submersible And Non-Clog Pump Designs Are Reshaping Municipal Sewage Systems 10/23/2025

   As technology improves and becomes more accessible, outdated municipal wastewater systems are fast beginning to show their age. Today, water pumps come in a variety of designs that enable uses that previous generations could only have dreamed of.

8. How AI Can Improve Storm Surge Forecasts To Help Save Lives 10/20/2025
   Accurate storm surge predictions are critical for giving coastal residents time to evacuate and giving emergency responders time to prepare. But storm surge forecasts at high resolution can be slow.
9. Advances In Wastewater Treatment Systems To Address Limited Space And Stringent Regulations 10/7/2025
   The demand for smaller, highly effective wastewater treatment systems continues to grow due to land scarcity and high prices in many parts of the country and the desire by developers, builders, and homeowners to maximize the use of every square foot of property.
10. A Market On Edge: PVDF's Uncertain Future And The Ceramic Alternative 10/6/2025
    By classifying PVDF as a PFAS “forever chemical” and including it under the proposed restriction, the EU has introduced the prospect of a multi-billion-dollar technology shift. While the outcome will depend on the final derogation periods granted, the proposal creates a defined regulatory horizon for PVDF membranes and forces the global water industry to evaluate alternatives.
