Pump manufacturers play an important role in helping customers meet evolving municipal vertical turbine pump regulations and standards while simultaneously optimizing performance. Working with industry organizations like the Hydraulic Institute (HI), the global authority on pumps and pump systems, helps maintain compliance with key pump standards and puts companies in a good position to keep up with industry trends.

Water treatment is moving beyond simply removing contaminants. Modern plants increasingly focus on precision separation, energy efficiency, water recovery, fouling control, and real-time optimization. In 2026, research is accelerating around nanofiltration (NF), graphene-based membranes, hybrid treatment trains, artificial intelligence (AI), and lower-energy desalination.

Three factors—spectacular images, a high death toll and strong personal ties—make it more likely that the media in one country will report on a natural disaster in another, according to a study by the University of Bonn, the University of Warwick and Imperial College London, which has now been published in the journal “Nature Human Behaviour.”
