1. A Redefined Edge For Agentic AI: Converging Compute And Networking 3/19/2026

   Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act, and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of WAN infrastructure architecture.

2. Maintaining And Improving Jersey City Water Infrastructure 3/18/2026

   Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.

3. Critical Infrastructure Fails The Way It's Funded 3/17/2026

   Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.

4. 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   Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks.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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
9. 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.

10. 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.
