• Eco-Dredging: Balancing Sediment Removal With Environmental Preservation

  Wastewater professionals in the U.S. are cleaning up their processes to represent sustainable ideals. Dredging is next on the list to become a greener version of itself. Sediment removal may be dredging’s basis, but it is possible to respect habitats, biodiversity, and conservation despite the activity.

• Harnessing Rainwater: A Sustainable Solution For Water Security

  The global rainwater harvesting market, valued at US$839.7 million in 2022, is projected to exhibit a robust CAGR of 6.3%, reaching US$1.5 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by escalating water scarcity concerns exacerbated by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts.

• Advantages Of Using Ozone And Biologically Active Filtration For Potable Reuse

  Understanding how ozonation and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) systems work and their benefits in reuse can help water authorities meet cost, treatment, and sustainability goals.

• Using Ozonation And Biologically Active Filtration To Remove Micropollutants

  Ozonation and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) is being increasingly used to address the issue of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment and potable reuse.

• A Tiny Bit Of PFAS

  In the most recent edition of Water Innovations, there is not a single article focused on PFAS. That wouldn't be exceptional if not for the fact that discussion around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances has so thoroughly dominated the water space lately. And yet, I penned this as an intro to the edition — just "a tiny bit of PFAS" content — because a small portion of PFAS is of the utmost importance in terms of treatment, policy, and cost.

• The Potential Of Rainwater As A Renewable Resource

  As water resources become more stressed, continuing to “waste” rainwater becomes increasingly inadvisable, perhaps even irresponsible.

• Unlocking The Potential Of Corporate Funding To Address Water Challenges In Our Communities — Part 3: Promoting Scalable Impact And Innovation

  The final segment in Brown and Caldwell's series on corporate water stewardship (CWS) discusses how the public sector can get more involved in CWS and presents opportunities for win-win partnerships that drive strategic innovation.
• A Multi-Billion-Dollar Water Industry Segment Not To Be Overlooked

  Water resources are a critical component of any region's ecosystems. But, perhaps even more important is the realization that water is also essential for human survival. Its needs cannot be ignored.
• Climate Crisis Sees Rise In Illegal Water Markets In The Middle East

  Water delivery via road is increasingly relevant in major cities worldwide. In parts of the world, urban water networks have deteriorated to such a degree that 1 billion people already face frequent public water supply interruptions. This has led to a proliferation of informal water markets.

• Unlocking The Potential Of Corporate Funding To Address Water Challenges — Part 2: Defining Metrics To Prioritize Water Projects

  The second installment of Brown and Caldwell's three-part series on corporate water stewardship (CWS) dives into the CWS program metrics used by companies when prioritizing investments in water projects, and how utilities can leverage private sector funds.
