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.

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.

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.

When it comes to carrot production, Kern County stands unmatched. With over 167,700 acres of carrots, more than 75% of all carrot acreage in California, this region dominates the state’s carrot industry and plays a crucial role in supplying the nation with fresh, nutritious produce.

Ensuring clean, reliable water is essential for both industrial processing and agricultural productivity. Whether you are running a manufacturing facility, greenhouse, livestock operation, or irrigation system, water quality directly affects equipment lifespan, crop yield, and overall operational efficiency.

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.

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.

In the fragrance world, water isn’t just a filler, it’s the body. Whether you're crafting fine perfumes, body sprays, or scented skincare, the quality of your water can make or break the final product.

If you’ve been in irrigation long enough, you’ve heard the classic line: “My water source is clean. I don’t need filtration.” And every time someone says it, an emitter somewhere silently screams.

When you think of amusement parks, you probably picture roller coasters, funnel cake, and maybe that one friend who insists on riding the drop tower twice. But behind every lazy river and wave pool is something way less glamorous but absolutely essential: seriously advanced water treatment systems.

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.

In the water treatment industry, selecting the right filtration media is essential for achieving reliable, long-term contaminant reduction. Two terms you’ll frequently see from filtration-media manufacturers are Catalytic Carbon and Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT).

A sand media filter is one of the most dependable and widely used filtration systems for irrigation, industrial water treatment, aquaculture, and pool maintenance. But even the best-designed filter can only perform as well as the media inside it.

Avocados have evolved from a niche fruit to a global culinary staple. As demand continues to surge, understanding when and where avocados grow best, and how farmers sustainably manage water has become increasingly important.

In the rapidly evolving food-manufacturing world, water is one of the most critical, and one of the most undervalued resources for a facility producing frozen treats. For an ice-cream production facility, the proper application of water treatment systems isn’t just about meeting regulations; it’s about operational efficiency, product quality, hygiene, cost control, and sustainability.

When water clarity and system uptime matter, you need filtration that doesn’t slow you down. The Everfilt® STB-Series “TURBO” Screen Filters are built to do exactly that, deliver high-flow, self-cleaning performance with virtually zero downtime.

Maintaining a professional-grade soccer field takes more than regular mowing and fertilizing. Consistent turf performance depends heavily on water quality.

Let’s face it: water is the lifeblood of every park. It keeps the grass green, fountains sparkling, splash pads playful, and ponds looking Instagram-worthy. But behind every well-maintained park is a team of water treatment systems quietly making all of it possible.

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.
