Austin’s not just the Live Music Capital of the World; it’s quickly becoming a national leader in water sustainability. In 2025, Austin Water picked up two major national awards recognizing its dedication to clean water, smart management, and long-term sustainability.

Desert cities have always faced a fundamental challenge: how to provide reliable, clean water in an environment where nature offers very little. High heat, low rainfall, and a growing population place enormous pressure on limited supplies.

When weather temperatures drop, water treatment systems face unique operational challenges. From frozen pipes to reduced chemical efficiency, cold weather can severely affect water quality and infrastructure integrity.

Clean, safe drinking water has always been essential, but in 2025, it’s becoming a non-negotiable priority for schools and universities.

Water quality is the foundation of every aquatic industry, whether aquaculture, fisheries, marine parks, or seafood processing. Effective water treatment protects aquatic life, ensures regulatory compliance, and drives operational efficiency.

When floods or earthquakes hit, they don’t just destroy homes, they also take out one of the most essential things we need to survive: clean water.

When the federal government shuts down, it isn’t just a matter of locked doors and furloughed employees. For the vast ecosystems of our national parks and the watersheds they sustain, the impacts can be far-reaching, long-lasting, and quietly destructive.

When most people think of irrigation, they envision sprawling farms, orchards, or lawns. Yet irrigation technologies are making waves in far more unexpected industries.

Universities and colleges are like small cities. They have their own housing, dining, research labs, sports facilities, HVAC systems, landscaping, and large populations with diverse water needs.

Clean, safe drinking water is foundational to public health, economic development, and environmental justice. Yet in the United States, many states struggle with aging infrastructure, contamination, underfunded systems, and natural challenges.

Water is life, but for millions of people in the U.S., clean, safe water still isn’t guaranteed. Aging pipes, outdated systems, and pollution have left too many communities behind.

Clean, safe water is vital to every American household and business. Yet, one often-overlooked contaminant—iron—can create a host of problems if left untreated.

Water, whether as structural leaks, rising humidity, condensation, storm surge, piping failure, or contaminated supply, damages collections faster and more irreversibly than almost any other environmental factor.

California loves its greenery. From manicured lawns to tropical backyard escapes, the state’s landscapes are iconic, but they’re also thirsty.

When people hear about a government shutdown, they usually think of closed national parks, furloughed federal workers, or political gridlock in Washington. But one of the less obvious yet critical areas affected is water treatment and infrastructure.

Clean water is something most of us take for granted, until it isn’t. Beneath our feet, groundwater provides drinking water, nourishes crops, and keeps industries running.

Beer may be beloved worldwide, but brewing it isn’t exactly water-friendly. To create just one gallon of beer, a brewery might need 3 to 7 gallons of water.

When you’re driving down a highway or watching a skyscraper go up, one thing you probably don’t think about is the water under that ground; what state it’s in, if it's safe, and how we manage it.

As global water scarcity intensifies, wastewater treatment and reuse are gaining momentum as essential strategies for sustainable resource management.

Yucca Valley, CA — The Hi-Desert Water District’s (HDWD) Phase 2 sewer expansion, a $103 million project, is more than just new pipes.
