  1. The Two-Sided Water Problem — What Process Manufacturers Are Missing On Both Ends Of The Line 8/4/2026

    Process manufacturing represents an underexamined water-withdrawal category. Inside every one of these facilities, water is lost twice — once at the tap, and once at the drain — both losses driven by the same root cause and both solvable by the same intervention.

  2. Midyear Reality Check: How Accurate Have Our 2026 Water Predictions Been So Far? 8/4/2026

    At the start of 2026, Kevin Westerling and I laid out a compelling roadmap on The Water Online Show, highlighting the trends we believed would shape the water and wastewater industry. Now, halfway through the year, I wanted to take a step back and evaluate how those predictions are playing out in the real world.

  3. The Evolution Of Hydraulic Modeling And Digital Twins 7/31/2026

    Tom Walski, Bentley Fellow, and Miguel Soares, Senior Product Manager at Bentley Systems, join The Water Online Show to trace the trajectory of hydraulic modeling from basic static designs to the cutting-edge realm of artificial intelligence and digital twins.

    Andrew Strassner, President of Sentinel Water Solutions, sits down with The Water Online Show to highlight the distinct operational advantages of custom-built, modular treatment systems.

  7. Cut Aeration Energy Costs With Better Dissolved Oxygen Control 7/29/2026

    This Hach application note walks through how continuous dissolved oxygen monitoring and automatic aeration control can help plants better manage blower speed based on actual process needs.

  8. The Water Online Show | Actionable Intelligence: Moving Beyond The Digital Transformation Buzz 7/28/2026

    Is "digital transformation" in the water sector a genuine revolution, or is it mostly high-level marketing buzz? In this episode of the Water Online Show, host Travis Kennedy and returning guest host Nadia Abboud welcome Bill Blank, Director of Global Marketing Communications for Badger Meter, to cut through the industry noise and get down to practical reality.

  9. From Two Data Points To A Living Map: Proactive Distribution Management 7/27/2026

    Relying on sparse monitoring points forces utilities to infer water quality across broad networks. Continuous, multi-point data collection delivers real-time visibility, allowing operators to detect trends early, optimize maintenance, and transition to proactive distribution management.

  10. Legionella And The Buildings You Don't Control: Monitoring Hot-Water And Premise Sections 7/27/2026

    Premise plumbing and hot-water systems are vulnerable to rapid residual decay and biological growth. Continuous, flow-independent monitoring delivers minute-by-minute tracking in stagnant, high-risk zones, helping operators verify disinfection and maintain safety before issues arise.
