Water Online Highlights

  1. In The Age Of PFAS, Water Treatment Designers Can't Afford To Guess 3/12/2026

    Relying on assumptions when designing water treatment systems creates unnecessary financial and operational risks. Adopting predictive modeling and data-driven testing provides the precise, actionable insights required to optimize performance, manage costs, and ensure compliance.

  2. ASM-10-HP Application Note 3/12/2026

    ResinTech ASM-10-HP is a strongly basic hybrid anion exchange resin specially formulated to selectively remove arsenic.

  3. Uncharted Seas: Data Center Wastewater Management Is Evolving Slowly 3/12/2026

    Wastewater treatment facilities, particularly those in urban areas, already are hard-pressed to process large volumes of wastewater while complying with local, state, and federal environmental mandates. The proliferation of traditional data centers and the advent of “hyperscale” data centers has exacerbated this challenge, and U.S. cities host many of the world’s largest data centers.

  4. How Gulf Coast Water Authority Uses Advanced Satellite Technology To Identify Leaks, Monitor Canals, And "Laser-Focus" Operations 3/12/2026

    Discover how Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) leverages ASTERRA’s advanced satellite technology to detect hidden leaks and proactively monitor canals across their extensive system. 

  5. Designing Wastewater Projects That Align With Multi-Year Capital Improvement Plans 3/11/2026

    Successful wastewater infrastructure requires aligning engineering decisions with long-term capital improvement cycles. By prioritizing phased adaptability and modular design, utilities can manage staged funding effectively while ensuring systems remain scalable for future regulatory and growth demands.

  6. What Small Municipal Utilities Get Wrong About 'Right-Sizing' Treatment Plants 3/11/2026

    Traditional wastewater plant design often relies on outdated flow assumptions, leading to oversized, inefficient systems. Prioritizing actual usage data and modular scalability ensures operational stability and fiscal responsibility, protecting small communities from the long-term burdens of overbuilt infrastructure.

  7. From Reactive To Resilient: The Rise Of Enterprise Risk Management 3/11/2026

    In this episode of the Water Online Show, hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling welcome back Pam Elardo, Senior Director of Strategic Services at Brown and Caldwell, for a dynamic conversation about what’s truly reshaping the water sector in 2026.

  8. Cybersecurity Best Practices For Private Utilities 3/11/2026

    Digital connectivity in decentralized water systems creates new vulnerabilities for private utilities. Protecting critical infrastructure requires proactive "cyber hygiene," including network segmentation and rigorous access controls, to ensure operational uptime and prevent unauthorized system interference.

  9. The Importance Of Industrial Water Monitoring 3/11/2026

    Monitoring of water quality in industrial process is essential, and it has been proven that testing industrial waters on a regular basis can mitigate risks and system issues before they become problematic. This includes early detection of corrosion, scale and biofouling.

  10. Scaling Water Reuse: New State Regulatory Guides And What They Mean For Treatment Design 3/11/2026

    Emerging state water reuse regulations are driving adoption of ozone and advanced oxidation, requiring flexible, high-performance systems to meet pathogen, trace organic, and DBP control objectives.
