Wastewater & Flood Management

In the quiet corners of urban and coastal ecosystems, a silent invader is skewing our understanding of biodiversity. This intruder isn’t a new species or an invasive predator, but something far more insidious: environmental DNA (eDNA) contamination f

In the relentless pursuit of cleaner water, researchers have stumbled upon a promising breakthrough that could reshape how we tackle one of the most stubborn pollutants: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). This persistent organic pollutant, notorious for

In the world of water utilities and waste management, a new challenge is emerging that could have significant commercial impacts, particularly for the energy sector. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals

In the heart of Wisconsin’s picturesque Driftless Area, a novel approach to water quality management is making waves, and the implications for the energy sector could be significant. A recent study, led by Sam Arden of Eastern Research Group, has she

In the heart of North Africa, where water is as precious as oil, Algeria is grappling with a pressing challenge: how to make every drop count. With a mere 500 cubic meters of freshwater per person, the country is under intense water stress, and the s

In the face of escalating water scarcity, direct potable reuse (DPR) is emerging as a critical solution, particularly in regions where water resources are stretched thin. However, this approach isn’t without its challenges. A recent study published i

In the heart of Iran’s Khorasan Razavi Province, a groundbreaking study is reshaping how we understand and manage urban wastewater networks. Hooman Bahmanpour, a researcher from the Department of HSE at Islamic Azad University in Shahrood, has led a

In the quest to ensure safe drinking water, disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are an unfortunate yet inevitable consequence. Among these, bromochloroacetamide (BCAcAm) has been widely detected, but its potential toxicity, particularly during the early l

In the ever-evolving landscape of wastewater treatment, a groundbreaking study has shed light on the transformative potential of hollow fiber membranes (HFMs), offering a glimpse into a future where wastewater is not just treated but turned into a va

In a groundbreaking study published in the journal ‘Water Research X’ (translated to English as ‘Water Research New Horizons’), researchers have mapped out the landscape of technologies that recycle nutrients from human waste back into agriculture, o
