As global temperatures rise and only 7% of water is reused in Europe, the world faces a critical water security challenge. With half of all wastewater still untreated and 90% of the Sustainable Development Goals dependent on water, the need for resilient, circular, and digitally enabled solutions has never been greater. At the Global Water Summit 2026 in Madrid, Alfa Laval is part of the conversation driving innovation, collaboration, and action to accelerate the water transition and empower industries to build operational resilience for a changing planet. Water reuse through…

By Shreyansh Shah, Director, at LEXCRU Water Tech Pvt. Ltd Sanalkumar, Associate Vice President, at LEXCRU Water Tech Pvt. LtdZuo Jian, Co-founder, at SideStroem Water Technologies Pte. Ltd The growing need for ZLD Access to clean water is no longer a certainty—it’s an emerging fault line of global stability. In 2024, São Paulo narrowly avoided a second major “Day Zero” as drought once again pushed its reservoirs to historic lows. Kenya is facing its worst water crisis in 40 years, affecting millions with a lack of clean water and food while…
Read MoreTHE FUTURE OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND REAL-WORLD IMPACT (WITH AN INDIA PERSPECTIVE)
By Sharad Bhushan Executive Director, EWE, India, AECOM Wastewater management is undergoing a profound transformation evolving from a narrow “end-of-pipe” compliance exercise into a cornerstone of the circular economy. The sector is no longer about mere disposal but about value recovery: reclaiming water, nutrients, and energy while reducing emissions, protecting public health, and strengthening the resilience of urban and industrial systems. This article brings together the latest technological trends, practical innovations, and real-world applications including AECOM’s impactful work in India to present a holistic view of where wastewater innovation is…
Read MoreNX Filtration partners with Applied Membranes Inc for pharmaceutical wastewater reuse in the USA
Hengelo, the Netherlands, 12 February 2026 Applied Membranes Inc (AMI), a USA-based provider of advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, will be using NX Filtration’s hollow fiber nanofiltration (HFNF) membranes for advanced wastewater reuse at a pharmaceutical company. The pharmaceutical company seeks to reduce its freshwater intake and wastewater discharge by reusing its process water. AMI selected NX Filtration’s HFNF technology to remove high concentrations of organic compounds from the company’s wastewater stream. Combining this treated wastewater with a reverse osmosis (RO) system enables an efficient and robust water reuse…
Read MoreThe River Crisis: Why Industry Must Begin to Lead Cleanup
India holds roughly 18% of the world’s population but only about 4% of its renewable freshwater resources, raising the stakes of river degradation. Across the country, untreated industrial wastewater contaminates rivers including the Yamuna, Ganga, Sabarmati and Jojari, with many tributaries critically degraded and facing functional collapse in coming decades. A major contributor is the textile and tannery industry, which consumes vast amounts of water and generates difficult-to-remove waste. Polluted rivers threaten drinking water, farm productivity, public health and local economies. Studies near Kanpur’s tanneries show chromium in groundwater far…
