• 7 Common Pump Failures In Manufacturing Plants, And How To Prevent Them

  Water pumps are the quiet workhorses of manufacturing plants, as they support everything from cooling and boiler feed systems to handling wastewater and chemical processing. When water pumps run reliably, operations stay on schedule. However, when they fail, disruptions can quickly spread across an entire facility.

• 2026 Predictions: The Next Frontier Of Water Starts Now

  Emerging trends signal a new era of agility, ethics, and resilience for water professionals.
• Down And Dirty With Digital: How AI Enhances Water Infrastructure Fieldwork

  Fieldwork is at the heart of infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation, as utilities, engineers, and contractors collaborate to build the systems and structures that treat and move water. The opportunity is great, but so are the challenges. Which is why new, digitally-enhanced tools are needed.

• The New Cyber Risk Challenging America's Water: Modernization Itself

  The integration of IT and OT systems has unlocked significant benefits — from enhanced operational visibility to smarter decision-making — and reflects years of hard work and commitment to innovation. This progress is a foundation for the next phase: strengthening defenses in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
• Agentic AI In The Water Sector: From Chatbots To Digital Operators

  If AI can inform decisions, can it also help execute them? For the water sector, this distinction is not just semantic; it is the difference between a digital assistant that takes notes and a digital operator that turns valves.

• How To Bring Quiet To Pump And Pipeline Systems

  For modern pipelines and pumps, noise and vibration behavior must be considered in system design. Learn how a wastewater pumping station in Greifswald, Germany reduced pump-induced pressure fluctuations by 90%, accompanied by lower vibration levels in the discharge line, with an innovative AI-enhanced damping system.
• Resolving Odor Complaints With Targeted Solutions Restore Community Confidence

  The South Dearborn Regional Sewer District in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, provides regional wastewater treatment services for three cities and an international distillery. The 6 mgd treatment plant is located in an area of high population growth and is surrounded by many retail operations and other commercial developments. In addition, a heavily traveled state highway runs by the treatment plant.

• Governments Need To Prepare For More Frequent Large Floods

  While many scientific and technical reports show that floods are becoming larger and more common, reports underestimate how their frequency is changing. Flood sizes get the spotlight, but governments and experts need to also consider their frequency to address implications overlooked by traditional management methods.
• Impact Of Improved Actuation On Filter Performance

  A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950, pneumatic actuators were installed on all of the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.

• Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability

  Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.
