86. WWEMA Window: Designing Wastewater Treatment Equipment For Resiliency 9/24/2023

    It is a known issue that wastewater infrastructure is aging and is in need of significant investment to upgrade or replace systems to operate safely. Age is not the only factor driving system replacements. Wastewater itself has changed, which means what flows through collection systems and into treatment plants is different than what it was 50 years ago. At home, lower-flow toilets translate to less water to move flushed solids.

90. 3 Innovative Ways PepsiCo Is Implementing Circular Water Systems 8/18/2023
    The pervasive and increasing incidence of water stress could perhaps be the most clear-cut consequence of climate change. As weather patterns become increasingly erratic and destructive, floods and drought are continuing to deplete water resources. We're no longer seeing predictable rainy and dry seasons to balance water tables. Couple this with growing and migrating populations that create an ever-increasing water demand, and the result is the undeniable water stress we're seeing globally.
