California’s construction, infrastructure, and environmental projects face a unique and growing challenge: groundwater management. From large-scale infrastructure builds to urban developments and remediation projects, dewatering, the process of removing groundwater to enable construction or excavation, is a routine necessity.

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.

California’s economy, environment, and public health depend on one critical system: water infrastructure. From aging pipelines and dams to treatment plants and flood control systems, California’s water-related infrastructure is under increasing strain.

The Christmas season gets a lot of attention for the big moments. Decorations go up, calendars fill fast, and kitchens suddenly become the most important room in the house. In the middle of all that activity, clean water is doing a lot of heavy lifting without ever being part of the conversation.

Modern hotel development extends far beyond attractive design and upscale amenities. Today’s guests expect environments that are not only comfortable and luxurious, but also safe, hygienic, and reliable.

California’s water treatment industry is undergoing a period of sustained and accelerated growth. Long-term water scarcity, increasingly stringent water-quality regulations, aging infrastructure, and major public investment have converged to make water treatment a central priority across the state.

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.

A new study suggests that the stuff used to disinfect tap water, chlorine vs. monochloramine, might be linked to how often people get Legionnaires’ disease. And honestly? The difference is kind of surprising.

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.

Across the country, water systems are aging, demands are rising, and the challenges tied to climate change aren’t slowing down. But one issue is quietly shaping the future of every treatment plant, utility, and public works department: a rapidly shrinking water workforce.

Peru’s coastal desert sees a seasonal low cloud called garúa, cold, persistent fog pushed inland by ocean currents. Where that fog hits hillsides, moisture is available even where rain is virtually absent. Fog catchers are simply vertical meshes hung on frames where the fog flows; tiny droplets collide with the filaments, coalesce into larger drops, run down gutters, and are stored in tanks for later use. These systems are passive, low-energy, and relatively cheap to install.

As water scarcity intensifies across the American West, one California city is proving that innovation, not desperation, will define the future of urban water management. Santa Monica’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), a first-of-its-kind underground recycling facility, marks a turning point not just for the coastal community but for how cities worldwide can rethink water security.

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.

Let’s be real, luxury living today goes way beyond marble countertops and infinity pools. True modern luxury is about comfort that runs deep, the kind you don’t always see but definitely feel.

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.

The federal government is opening again (or so it seems), bringing long-awaited relief to the agencies, contractors, and communities that depend on federal funding.

The latest government shutdown isn’t just a story about politics and paychecks; it’s about water. Across the country, towns and cities are watching vital clean water projects stall while federal agencies sit in limbo.

Clean, reliable water is the lifeblood of every commercial and industrial operation. Whether it’s a luxury hotel, an apartment complex, or a bustling manufacturing plant, behind the scenes, advanced water treatment systems are working quietly to keep things running smoothly, ensuring water is safe, systems are efficient, and operations stay compliant.

In recent years, the water-treatment industry has witnessed a surge in demand for mobile carbon media vessels, systems packed with granular activated carbon (GAC) or specialty media housed in transport-ready vessels deployed for rapid filtration of contaminants.
