Phosphate-Free Corrosion Inhibitor Protects Hydrotested Drinking Water Systems

How often do you think about drinking water storage tanks and the plumbing behind your walls? Unless you’re a plumber or building contractor, these components probably don’t come to mind often. But out of sight does not mean out of mind for corrosion, which can compromise drinking water pipes and tanks before they are ever put into service. As a result, Cortec® is encouraging contractors and plumbers to spread the word about VpCI®-649 HP, a phosphate-free corrosion inhibitor for protection during and after hydrotesting. Hydrotesting of drinking water piping, fittings,…

Artificial Rain: First Cloud Seeding Trial Conducted in  Parts of Delhi

Delhi has conducted its first cloud-seeding trial, using aircraft to disperse silver iodide and sodium chloride over areas such as Burari and Karol Bagh. The initiative, led by the Delhi government in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, seeks to trigger artificial rainfall to wash out particulate pollution. This trial reflects a significant shift in Delhi’s environmental strategy; from reactive pollution control to proactive, technology-driven interventions. While cloud seeding has been used in other parts of the world, its application here underscores how water-industry thinking must increasingly overlap with meteorology and atmospheric…
