• AI In The Water Sector: Navigating Innovation Responsibly

  The water sector, facing escalating demands and aging infrastructure, cannot afford to be left behind in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Embracing AI is not just about efficiency; it's about ensuring future resilience and continued service delivery in a world increasingly reliant on intelligent systems.

• Cut Costs, Cut Timelines: Rethink Your Next Water Project

  Small municipalities and industrial sites face constant pressure: deliver safe, stable water with limited resources and tight deadlines. Traditional on-site construction can stretch project schedules by months and introduce quality and cost risks. By shifting much of the fabrication off-site, these risks are dramatically reduced.

• How Hyper-Detailed Modeling Is Strengthening Worker Safety And Water Infrastructure Resilience

  Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.

• Understanding Flow And Pressure In Municipal Water Systems

  Effective pressure management is essential for reliable municipal water delivery, preventing pipe bursts, improving energy efficiency, and extending infrastructure life. Balancing flow and pressure, which are affected by factors like elevation and pipe integrity, is key to utility operations.

• WEFTEC 2025: Water Sector Pivots Toward Resilience, AI, And Circularity

  From technology breakthroughs to operator excellence, this year’s event showed water’s future is already flowing.

• How AI Can Solve The "Silver Tsunami" And Support Small Water Utilities

  While far from prolific, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the water and wastewater industry are nothing new. AI and machine learning have been used for data analytics for years. However, for small utilities and those with an aging workforce, these tools seem too high tech and costly to be practical. This doesn’t have to be the case, though. AI tools — particularly generative AI (Gen AI) and large language models (LLMs) — are able to address critical workforce shortages and resource constraints within the water and wastewater industry.
• Flood-Prone Houston Faces Hard Choices For Handling Too Much Water

  There are three potential options to contain floods with tunnels to direct excess water out of Houston to the coast. As researchers who study disaster resilience, we bring complementary expertise to analyzing this complex discussion. Here are what we see as the key factors for the city to consider.
• Regulations And Standards For Water Quality Monitoring

  Understanding global and national water standards is essential for compliance and safety. Rapid changes in regulation and the rise of emerging contaminants demand smarter, data-driven monitoring strategies.

• How Digital Payments Infrastructure Increases Hurricane Preparedness

  The 2024 hurricane season was one of the most severe on record, creating unprecedented destruction to the tune of $182.7 billion worth of damage. Scientists predict that this year's storm season, which officially began June 1, will likely be highly active and volatile as well. As hurricanes become more difficult to accurately predict and prepare for, the damage caused by burst pipes, flooding, downed trees and debris, and disrupted utilities is also increasing.
• Responsible Reclamation – City of Abilene, Texas

  To combat drought, Abilene, Texas, implemented a reuse system utilizing O₃​ + BAC to remove trace organics. This solution met strict standards, ensured water resilience, and proved more cost-effective than AOP alternatives.
