  2. Hidden Aquifer Could Help Solve The Water Crisis 9/11/2025

    In a first-of-its-kind research expedition, a team extracted thousands of water samples from an unlikely source: a hidden aquifer that is thought to stretch from New Jersey to Maine.

  3. The Water Online Show: What NASA Satellites Reveal About Earth's Shrinking Freshwater 9/10/2025

    In this episode of In The Flow, hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling delve into one of the most pressing issues facing water managers throughout the world: the shrinking supply of freshwater.

  4. The Role Of Turbine Flow Meters In Wastewater Treatment Plants 9/10/2025
    Wastewater plants are made up of a series of interconnected processes, each one dependent on accurate data. Turbine flow meters can be installed at several stages to provide operators with real-time, trustworthy flow information.
  5. Constant vs. Proportional Diffusivity In RSSCT: Choosing The Right Model For GAC Performance Testing 9/9/2025

    When designing adsorption systems for PFAS removal, utilities and engineers increasingly rely on RSSCTs (Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests) to compare the performance of granular activated carbon (GAC) or other sorbents. One often overlooked yet critical assumption in RSSCT modeling is the choice between constant diffusivity and proportional diffusivity. Though both approaches are valid, selecting the right model can significantly impact how well bench-scale results translate to full-scale systems.

  6. Knock Out Solids With Pentair 9/9/2025

  7. Material That Breaks Down In Seawater Could Be The Answer To Microplastic Problem 9/8/2025

    Our modern society generates around 460 million metric tons of plastic waste each year, with around 20 million ending up in the environment, particularly water bodies. Plastics take decades to decompose, with some types requiring hundreds of years. Even worse, as they do break down, they form microplastics, which end up being consumed by wildlife and ultimately people.
