APPLICATION-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS ENHANCE STRAINER EFFICIENCY

Jun 5, 2026Jun 5, 2026 eawater

For industrial plant managers, automatic scraper strainers are among the closest solutions to a true “set-and-forget” system, effectively removing both large and fine suspended solids from industrial water, cooling tower water, liquids, and slurries. The basic design represents one of the most efficient and cost-effective industrial self-cleaning strainers available. The motorized unit is engineered for minimal maintenance and operator involvement and can remove solids as small as 75 microns. These strainers allow for continuous, uninterrupted flow, including during blowdown cycles. Cleaning is performed by a spring-loaded blade and brush system…

CULTIVATING HOPE IN BUNDELKHAND: FARMER-LED TECHNOLOGICAL RESILIENCE IN A DROUGHT-STRESSED REGION WITH HIGH FARMER-SUICIDE VULNERABILITY

Dr. Debasri Mukherjee, Assistant Director (WASH), SIGMA Foundation Dr. M.N. Roy, Founder President, SIGMA Foundation Ms. Sohini Tarafdar, Program Manager, SIGMA Foundation Introduction Bundelkhand, a semi-arid region straddling Central India, has long been associated with drought cycles, shrinking groundwater reserves, high input-intensive farming, and recurring agrarian distress. Erratic rainfall, crop failure, debt, and the out-migration of working-age youth have shaped the social and economic fabric of the region. This case study presents lived experiences of three smallholder farmers from Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh and Panna district in Madhya Pradesh…

ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR: HUMIDITY TO HUMANITY

May 29, 2026May 29, 2026 eawater

Sanjay Kumar Garg, Director, Aryav Eco-friendly Resources Pvt Ltd Water has always been the foundation of civilization. From ancient river valleys to modern megacities, access to clean drinking water has shaped economies, health outcomes and human dignity. Yet, in the 21st century, water scarcity has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges—ironically at a time when technology has reached unprecedented heights. While rivers are drying, groundwater tables are falling, and municipal systems are under immense stress, one abundant source of water remains largely underutilized: the atmosphere. Every day,…

A PARADIGM SHIFT IN RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT

Apr 10, 2026Apr 10, 2026 eawater

Del Williams, Technical Writer, California Reservoir managers are utilizing a risk management framework along with innovative metrics to address the root causes of lake degradation, including eutrophication, hypoxia & harmful algal blooms. It has been more than 25 years – a quarter of a century – since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were tasked with managing the escalating risks posed by eutrophication. This persistent issue causes hypoxia, devastates aquatic ecosystems, and triggers toxic cyanobacterial blooms. Despite decades of effort and significant…

COMPREHENSIVE WATER TREATMENT SOLUTION AT SCHOOL

Apr 8, 2026Apr 8, 2026 eawater

Mohammed Naser Azeez, MD, Aquality Intelligent Solutions Clean and safe drinking water is fundamental to the health, development, and academic success of school students. Children are particularly vulnerable to waterborne diseases due to their developing immune systems, and contaminated water can lead to serious illnesses, resulting in frequent absences that disrupt learning and academic progress. Beyond preventing disease, adequate hydration with safe water is essential for cognitive function, even mild dehydration can impair concentration, memory, short-term recall, and overall academic performance. When students have confidence in their school’s water quality,…

Role of Nico Nanobubble Technology in Ultrapure Water Management for the Semiconductor Industry

Mar 18, 2026Mar 18, 2026 eawater

Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, NICO Nanobubble India Co. Semiconductor Industry: Water Quality Imperatives and Strategic Challenges Semiconductor and advanced electronics manufacturing is fundamentally dependent on ultrapure water (UPW). UPW is used across critical steps such as wafer cleaning and rinsing, photolithography support operations, etching, plating/anodic processes in adjacent electronics lines, Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) support rinses, and chemical dilution where applicable. As device geometries continue to shrink and defect tolerance narrows, the water specification envelope becomes increasingly stringent not only for ionic purity and Total Organic Carbon…
