  2. Advancing Digital Solutions From Pilots To Practice In The Water Sector 10/28/2025

    Across the water sector, the same question echoes through utilities and organizations: "We've completed a successful pilot, but now what?" While digital experimentation has become commonplace, the journey from pilot to practice remains challenging.

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    As technology improves and becomes more accessible, outdated municipal wastewater systems are fast beginning to show their age.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

  4. 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.
  5. AI In The Water Sector: Navigating Innovation Responsibly 10/16/2025

    The water sector, facing escalating demands and aging infrastructure, cannot afford to be left behind in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Embracing AI is not just about efficiency; it's about ensuring future resilience and continued service delivery in a world increasingly reliant on intelligent systems.

  6. How Hyper-Detailed Modeling Is Strengthening Worker Safety And Water Infrastructure Resilience 10/10/2025
    Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.
  7. How AI Can Solve The "Silver Tsunami" And Support Small Water Utilities 10/3/2025
    While far from prolific, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the water and wastewater industry are nothing new. AI and machine learning have been used for data analytics for years. However, for small utilities and those with an aging workforce, these tools seem too high tech and costly to be practical. This doesn’t have to be the case, though. AI tools — particularly generative AI (Gen AI) and large language models (LLMs) — are able to address critical workforce shortages and resource constraints within the water and wastewater industry.
  8. 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.
  9. Water Main Rupture Puts Florida Community At Risk Of Flooding 9/26/2025

    A water main rupture under pressure in Florida required a custom-designed “live line repair” fitting. Engineers quickly deployed, creating a permanent, corrosion-resistant solution and completing repairs in under 10 hours.

  10. Quick Response Following Tropical Storm Prevents Service Disruption 9/26/2025

    Following Tropical Storm Isaias, a damaged reservoir outlet pipe needed fast, custom repair. Learn how a quick response, site assessment, and custom-engineered couplings prevented a major water service shutdown.
