11. 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    As technology improves and becomes more accessible, outdated municipal wastewater systems are fast beginning to show their age.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.

12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Flood-Prone Houston Faces Hard Choices For Handling Too Much Water 10/3/2025
    There are three potential options to contain floods with tunnels to direct excess water out of Houston to the coast. As researchers who study disaster resilience, we bring complementary expertise to analyzing this complex discussion. Here are what we see as the key factors for the city to consider.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
