As 2026 begins, individuals, organizations, and industries are redefining what sustainability truly means. One of the most impactful commitments to make this year is a Clean Water Pledge, a pledge that goes beyond drinking water to protect all forms of clean water, including stormwater, wastewater, groundwater, irrigation systems, industrial water, and natural waterways.

Mining has a long history of leaving behind environmental messes, and acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the worst offenders. We’re talking highly acidic water loaded with toxic metals that can poison rivers, wipe out ecosystems, and make nearby drinking water unsafe for decades.

If you live in San Diego County, especially anywhere near Imperial Beach, you’ve probably heard the same story for years: raw sewage from Tijuana keeps flowing north, beaches keep closing, and nobody seems able to fix it.

If you work in the seafood industry, you already know water isn’t just part of the process; it is the process. From aquaculture tanks to processing lines, rinsing, chilling, and packaging, water touches every single product before it reaches consumers.

New Hampshire’s lakes are more than sparkling scenery. They’re where you swim on hot July weekends, paddle at sunrise, fish with your kids, host cookouts, snap photos, and reset your brains. They’re also ecosystems, and their health is starting to wobble.

There’s a moment every vineyard owner knows well: walking the rows at sunrise, feeling the cool stillness before the day begins, and knowing that every leaf, tendril, and cluster is completely dependent on something we almost never talk about…Water.

Wastewater treatment used to be one of those behind-the-scenes systems we rarely talked about, the kind of infrastructure that quietly did its job in the background. But that’s changing fast.

Water treatment has become a central focus in modern construction, driven by stricter regulations, rising sustainability expectations, and the need for responsible site management. Construction activities generate various types of contaminated water, from runoff to wash water, making effective water treatment critical for environmental protection and regulatory compliance.

Thanksgiving hits different when you pause long enough to notice the everyday miracles around you. At the very top of our gratitude list this season? Clean water; the ability to help bring it to communities around the world.

If you’ve been paying attention to environmental news lately, you might’ve caught something pretty alarming: California farms have been using millions of pounds of PFAS-containing pesticides every single year.

Clean water is a basic expectation in the United States, yet millions of Americans still live in areas with unsafe or unreliable drinking water. High-profile crises like Flint’s lead disaster grabbed national attention, but many other cities continue to struggle with contamination that stems from aging infrastructure, poor regulation, political conflict, or environmental injustice.

Access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet many Native American communities continue to face severe water challenges due to aging infrastructure, contamination, remote locations, and long-standing underfunding.

If you’re running a cattle operation in 2025, you already know the vibe: margins are tighter, weather is wilder, regulations keep shifting, and you’re basically juggling the roles of rancher, environmental steward, and part-time mechanic.

If you're running a data center, you already know the game: nonstop uptime, maximum efficiency, minimal waste. You optimize your servers, airflow, PUE, virtualization layers, everything. But there’s one piece of infrastructure most operators don’t give nearly enough love: Your cooling tower water,

California State Parks host some of the most ecologically diverse landscapes in the country, from coastal bluffs and mountain lakes to historic sites and deserts. With millions of visitors exploring these parks every year, the need for reliable, sustainable water treatment has never been more critical.

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.
