WATER SCARCITY RESOURCES

  • Many cities have had to confront major water supply crises in recent years. Our new analysis of these five cities’ experiences provides lessons on how to avoid a water supply crisis or minimize the effects through proactive policies and planning.

  • There are many ways to capture stormwater — whether as a homeowner, business, or municipality — and even more benefits.
  • Water, the lifeblood of everything, also powers artificial intelligence. Here's how we can enjoy both in abundance.
  • A key aspect of achieving urban water security is the implementation of demand management, which involves the better use of existing water supplies before plans are made to further increase supply. In particular, demand management promotes water conservation during times of both normal and atypical conditions, through changes in practices, culture, and people's attitudes towards water resources.

  • In Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel Dune, survival on the arid planet Arrakis depends on the ingenious ability to harvest water from the atmosphere. Using devices like windtraps and dew collectors, the inhabitants of this desert world extract precious moisture from the air. Today, as the global water crisis worsens, scientists and engineers are making strides in developing real-world atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technologies, transforming speculative fiction into practical solutions.
  • Groundwater levels and pollution, owing to the rising industrialization rate, have increased drastically across the world. To address these issues, many government policies and stringent regulatory norms for industries have been structured, leading to growing prospects for the industrial wastewater treatment market.
  • With its innovative Harvest Water program, the Sacramento Area Sewer District supports Central Valley growers, thereby supporting the nation.
  • The number of people affected by water scarcity is expected to grow as populations increase and as weather patterns become more unpredictable and extreme. Many state leaders, however, are aggressively planning water infrastructure projects to increase water supply or provide more efficient use of available resources to curb the very negative impacts of water stress.

  • One of the globe's major problems is the lack of water, but due to the growing demand for water in the fields of agriculture and industry, as well as a population shift to cities, efficient water use is made more urgent. The good news is that there are newly implemented technologies that deal with the issue of water conservation and management.
  • As scientists build proof of water on Mars, we hope our intergalactic neighbors use it wisely.

WATER SCARCITY PRODUCTS

  • Potable Water Treatment Mini Train System: PWT 125

    For remote sites with peak populations between 500 and 2,000 people, the newterra PWT-125 Mini Train System offers exceptional capacity and flexibility. The base system for up to 500 people consists of two 40' containerized elements – a discrete distribution/disinfection unit and a treatment unit. The Mini Train design allows up to four (4) treatment units to be added to a single distribution unit, providing potable water treatment for 2,000 people. The system is designed to integrate with containerized or free standing tanks for water storage. The treatment system is available for both groundwater and surface water sources.

  • Potable Water Storage Unit: MSU-40

    Minimize potable water hauling costs with modular onsite storage units from newterra – the leader in advanced camp water solutions.

  • Sewage Treatment Mini Train System: WWT-50

    The highly scalable newterra WWT-50 Sewage Treatment Mini Train System is designed for rapid mobilization to serve camps of 200 to 800 people. These efficient plants are configured in trains that allow modular expansion and easy redeployment of assets. Each base configuration consists of two 40' containers that provide 50 m3 (13,200 US gal) of treatment capacity – enough for 200 people. Supplementing the base system with one 40' Adder container doubles capacity to 100 m3 for up to 400 people.

  • Sewage Treatment Large Train System: WWT-125

    The newterra WWT-125 is a scalable sewage treatment plant based on 3-container process trains that can each address the requirements of 500 people (125 m3; 33,000 US gal). The advanced, modular system is designed for larger camps with populations ranging from 1,000 to tens of thousands of people. 

  • Process Instrumentation And Analytics Solutions For Water And Wastewater

    Supplying drinking water to the population and treating wastewater are two very important global challenges. On a daily basis, system planners, designers and operators are required to keep the global increase in water consumption under control in the face of growing water shortages and the salination of fresh water resources. As industry experts for water applications, we offer powerful, innovative technical solutions to assist you.
