Sending samples out still requires a level of responsibility and competency. Follow these steps to ensure accurate water quality analysis.

Producing energy and being more energy efficient are not only economically wise decisions, they also demonstrate local responsibility, create a sense of pride among employees, and reduce the global carbon footprint.

Decentralized systems are proving their value beyond traditional use in rural settings, treating larger volumes of wastewater in diverse applications while easing O&M concerns.

Hydrogen sulfide emits foul odors, corrodes infrastructure, and endangers human health — and may have finally met its match.

Black & Veatch’s annual Strategic Directions report reveals the momentum for water reuse in the U.S., citing reasons for uptake as well as remaining barriers to entry.

From simple to advanced and from sewage to potable, tanks have become the Swiss Army knives of water management.

Every water project is different, but each one also provides lessons for others, such as this profile of a Southern California reuse project where conveyance needed to be routed around a protected environment.

The technology is ready, but is the world ready? The seismic shift toward water reuse will occur only as driving circumstances reach their tipping point.

Nicole A. Blanco was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She learned early in life that she had a passion for engineering and science, which she eventually channeled into a career in water. Nicole was the first in her family to obtain a college degree, then proceeded to break down barriers in an industry sorely in need of — and yearning for — operational innovation and evolution. As you will surely find through the following Q&A, the water sector needs more like her, and we hope her story provides inspiration to both aspiring young professionals and future mentors.

The digital revolution is well underway across business, industry, and culture, but water utilities have some catching up to do. Utilities are not necessarily known for trailblazing new ideas and technologies, but that’s not a criticism; far from it, in fact. Water providers often prefer the tried and true for a very sound reason — the lives of their customers depend on their success. However, the jury is no longer out on the advantages of going digital, and the time to flip the switch is now.

A lot will change moving forward, as water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities add pandemic risks to their list of priorities and must consider a growing array of threats in the development of capital improvement plans (CIPs).

Lining damaged pipes with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) can be an efficient and reliable fix, but one that can go awry without quality assurance and control.

Based on a model from Texas, public-private partnerships (P3s) can be the catalyst for making America’s water infrastructure more resilient to storms and catastrophic events.

Utilities are always looking for ways to unlock efficiency, which is the simplest and surest path to saving money. When it comes to asset maintenance, a key has been found.

Although aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used to save lives, it may be impairing the health of many more. The persistent and pervasive nature of PFAS is again the culprit.

Atmospheric water generation could be a solution to water woes confronting citizens and industry across the globe, including the U.S.

Plastic has had tremendous impact on society in ways both large and small, such as with microplastics — tiny substances creating a huge problem.
