Wastewater Management Resources

  1. Geotechnical IoT Shifts Water Infrastructure From Reactive To Predictive 3/13/2026

    Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.

  2. Keeping Water Safe In A Connected World 3/13/2026

    Water utilities were never designed to sit on the front line of geopolitics or organized cybercrime.

  3. Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization 3/13/2026

    Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.

  4. Using Historical Performance To Optimize Your Coagulation Control 3/9/2026

    Non-intrusive ultrasonic technology provides precise, bi-directional flow measurement without process downtime. By clamping onto the pipe exterior, these systems eliminate maintenance and pressure loss, offering a reliable, data-rich solution for complex water and wastewater monitoring environments.

  5. 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.
  6. U.S. Pipe Supplies Nearly 24 miles Of Pipe To Support Clean Water Efforts In Waukesha, WI 1/30/2026

    U.S. Pipe supplies 34 miles of 30-inch ductile iron pipe for Waukesha’s Lake Michigan water project, delivering reliable, high-pressure infrastructure for generations of residents.

  7. 7 Common Pump Failures In Manufacturing Plants, And How To Prevent Them 1/22/2026
    Water pumps are the quiet workhorses of manufacturing plants, as they support everything from cooling and boiler feed systems to handling wastewater and chemical processing. When water pumps run reliably, operations stay on schedule. However, when they fail, disruptions can quickly spread across an entire facility.
  8. 2026 Predictions: The Next Frontier Of Water Starts Now 1/15/2026
    Emerging trends signal a new era of agility, ethics, and resilience for water professionals.
  9. Down And Dirty With Digital: How AI Enhances Water Infrastructure Fieldwork 1/14/2026

    Fieldwork is at the heart of infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation, as utilities, engineers, and contractors collaborate to build the systems and structures that treat and move water. The opportunity is great, but so are the challenges. Which is why new, digitally-enhanced tools are needed.

  10. The New Cyber Risk Challenging America's Water: Modernization Itself 1/12/2026
    The integration of IT and OT systems has unlocked significant benefits — from enhanced operational visibility to smarter decision-making — and reflects years of hard work and commitment to innovation. This progress is a foundation for the next phase: strengthening defenses in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
