The Pros And Cons Of Pilot Testing For PFAS Removal
Deploying uncustomized equipment for contaminant testing can skew critical operational data. Discover how precisely tailored small-scale testing isolates site-specific variables, protects long-term maintenance budgets, and ensures seamless regulatory compliance for full-scale water treatment facilities.  Continue Reading..
Water Quality Monitoring
Water Quality Monitoring Systems Helping Utilities Deliver Safer Water
Safe drinking water has long been water utilities' core purpose. Today, however, that job is infinitely more complex. Climate change, infrastructure aging, industrial pollution, emerging contaminants, and more regulatory pressures require utilities to reassess every point at which they measure water quality in their treatment and distribution systems.  Continue Reading..

The Enzyme Bottleneck: Why Conventional Lake Management Is Failing — And What The Science Says About Genuine Bio-Dredging
For decades, the dominant framework for assessing and managing lake health has been built around surface water measurements: chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus, water clarity, and the composite Trophic State Index derived from them. These metrics are familiar, standardised, and widely accepted. They are also, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed literature, measuring the wrong part of the lake.  Continue Reading..
