In June 2026 a peer-reviewed article in AWWA Opflow documents sedimentation-basin algae control using an LG Sonic ultrasonic system at Central Alabama Water's Shades Mountain Filter Plant in Birmingham, Alabama. The system was installed in April 2024. After roughly one year, the seasonal filamentous algae along the basin perimeter largely ...
Modern systems enable long-term environmental and operational objectives.Why oxygen transfer is importantOxygen transfer directly affects water quality. ...
Real-time water quality monitoring enables drinking water utilities to detect contamination risks before they impact treatment operations. ...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in drinking-water reservoirs pose multi-faceted operational risks for utilities, requiring proactive source-water management, robust monitoring, and rapid, non-disruptive response strategies to maintain water quality under regulatory constraints.Impact on Drinking ...
During algal blooms, the daily swing can be more pronounced. In industrial and drinking water treatment, pH changes during algal activity can affect coagulation efficiency, chemical dosing, and overall operational stability. ...
Healthy lives depend on clean water. But contamination, taste issues, and deteriorating infrastructure remain challenges in many water systems. Thus, innovators are pursuing new technology. Nanobubbles for drinking water are among the solutions receiving attention. The technology enhances water ...
A new HF300D water well drilling rig has arrived in Guatemala, strengthening local capacity to develop sustainable water sources in both rural and urban ...
Introduction Water and pH sit at the heart of water quality decisions because when potential of hydrogen changes, metals dissolve, pipes corrode, and this is how ecosystems behave. Even when water looks clear, the pH levels can drift with weather, geology, and biological activity. This guide explains what are the optimal levels of safe drinking water parameters, why it matters, and how to ...
Clean water matters. Cities need reliable tools to keep taps safe. Ultrasonic treatment drinking water offers a gentle and modern way to reduce algae and protect water quality. ...
Industrial reservoirs matter. They store water for cooling, processing, and safety. When algae blooms, these tanks and basins suffer. Pumps clog. Filters foul. Water quality drops. Costs rise. Fortunately, ultrasonic technology offers a simple and powerful solution. It controls algae without adding chemicals. It works quietly and uses little energy. This write-up explains how ultrasonic systems ...
Water scarcity isn’t coming—it’s here. While your plant operates under increasingly stringent discharge regulations and rising water costs, the solution may be flowing right past your facility. Industrial water reuse has evolved from an environmental nice-to-have to an operational necessity, yet many plant water management teams still approach it with outdated assumptions and ...
Plan for housing booms or tourism surges with water and wastewater infrastructure that grows with you The United States is experiencing a spurt in population growth. According to census estimates, it grew by 1% in 2024 and is increasing at the fastest pace in more than 20 years. While population increases are driving growth in regions such as Florida, international and local migration are ...
Every time you turn on your tap, you expect clean, safe water, but you can’t see how it affects you. With 2 billion people worldwide lacking access to safely managed drinking water, understanding the various types of water contaminants has never been more critical for protecting public health. The Safe Drinking Water Act defines the term “contaminant” as meaning any physical, ...
Access to clean water is getting tougher for many coastal communities. Despite having seawater surrounding them, the salinity level is too high for consumption, agricultural use, and use in industries. That’s where desalination systems come in. By converting seawater into freshwater, potable water, these systems become a long-term source for coastal communities’ ever-growing water ...
Texas water scarcity has become a growing concern in recent years, as rising populations, prolonged droughts, and shifting climate patterns put increasing pressure on the state’s water supply. From urban centers like Dallas and Austin to agricultural hubs in the Rio Grande Valley and West Texas, communities across the Lone Star State are searching for long-term, sustainable solutions to ...
In California’s sun-soaked vineyards, where the wine and table grape industries are cornerstones of the state’s agricultural economy, powdery mildew remains a relentless adversary. Caused by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator, powdery mildew is one of the most pervasive and damaging diseases in viticulture, affecting both the yield and the market quality of grapes. Once ...
Ensuring clean, safe water is critical for both public health and industrial operations. Among the many contaminants that can be present in water supplies, iron in water is one of the most common. Although iron is an essential nutrient, elevated levels in water can lead to staining, unpleasant taste, infrastructure damage, and potential health risks. But what exactly is the legal limit of iron ...
This figure climbs even higher, up to $40 billion USD for gas and drinking water distribution plus sewer systems. This is an unavoidable problem with a high cost to bear. ...

On December 20, 2024, the UK government revised draft Water Resources Management Plans (WRMP24), explicitly positioning smart water metering as a core strategy. The strategy involves installing smart water meters in unmetered homes, equipping new homes with smart water meters, and upgrading existing basic water meters to smart water meters in metered households. The introduction of this strategy ...
Technical and Operational Superiority of Mineral Oxychloride Reagents Over Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment Abstract This scientific article presents the technical and operational advantages of mineral oxychloride reagents over chlorine dioxide (ClO2) in water treatment. Mineral oxychlorides are advanced oxidation agents that deliver superior disinfection, biofilm removal, and residual ...
