Wastewater Features

  1. The Role Of Turbine Flow Meters In Wastewater Treatment Plants 9/10/2025

    Wastewater plants are made up of a series of interconnected processes, each one dependent on accurate data. Turbine flow meters can be installed at several stages to provide operators with real-time, trustworthy flow information.

  2. Harnessing The Power Of Oxidation-Reduction Potential For Smarter Wastewater Management 9/5/2025

    “Potential” is in the name. Here’s what wastewater managers should know about both the benefits and challenges of ORP as an agent of process control.

  3. Megadroughts Are Here To Stay, And U.S. Water Utilities Need To Adapt 9/2/2025
    Researchers warn that California and other states affected by megadroughts — periods of drought lasting 20+ years — will have to accept this as the new normal. That means rethinking the water cycle and finding new, more sustainable water sources.
  4. Storm-Proofing Wastewater Infrastructure: Strategies To Protect Coastal Cities 9/1/2025
    When evaluating how to best prepare a city for climate threats, consider lessons from past extreme weather events and evaluate how to apply these lessons to infrastructure challenges. Coastal cities can act now to protect their infrastructure against future risks.
  5. 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.
  6. Iron Nanoparticles Can Help Treat Contaminated Water — Scientists Have Created Them Out Of Expired Supplements 8/14/2025
    Researchers from Georgia Tech have developed an eco-friendly method to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles from expired over-the-counter iron supplements. This approach not only gives value to discarded products but also supports a more sustainable and circular method of production.
  7. Before You Choose A Wastewater Treatment Technology, Ask These 5 Questions 8/12/2025
    When it comes to choosing a wastewater treatment strategy for a specific water issue, facility managers often start by asking themselves what the best technology is for addressing their contaminant. However, there are far more important questions that need to be answered first.
  8. Managing Localized Flooding And Combined Sewer Overflows 8/12/2025

    The public tends to forget about underground infrastructure until systems are stressed or capacity is exceeded and it doesn’t perform as intended. In combined sewer systems, sometimes this results in localized flooding, which can pose hazards to human health, water quality, and the environment, and create financial burdens for utilities.

  9. 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.
  10. 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.
