Read MoreRE-ENGINEERING MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT: AN INSIGHT INTO THE TRANSFORMATION OF NANOBUBBLE TECHNOLOGY IN PRIMARY, SECONDARY & TERTIARY PROCESSES
Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & MD of NICO Nanobubble India Co. From Compliance to Competitive Advantage in Wastewater Treatment Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are no longer judged solely on discharge compliance. Today’s benchmarks extend to energy efficiency, footprint reduction, chemical minimisation, carbon intensity, reuse readiness, and resilience under fluctuating loads. Conventional process trains while proven are increasingly strained by tightening norms, rising power tariffs, land constraints, and sustainability mandates. This is precisely where NICO Nanobubbles position itself not as a disruptive replacement, but as a high-impact process intensifier…

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,…
Read MoreA PARADIGM SHIFT IN RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
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…
Read MoreTrends Defining Water Innovation in 2025 and What They Mean for the Global Water Agenda in 2026
2025 is defined by economic friction and technological acceleration, as trade tariffs, geopolitical volatility and an AI boom reshape global industries. Amid these shifts, water innovation moved from the periphery to the mainstream of climate and sustainability discussions. New water-focused venture funds signal rising investor confidence. Yet traditional water-infrastructure financing continues to lag. The OECD and World Bank estimate global needs will reach $6.7 trillion by 2030 and could rise to $22 trillion by 2050, far exceeding current public funding commitments. Water is now central to business strategy, regulatory action…
Read MoreNew Water Footprint Service From Tunley Environmental Brings International Standards to Corporate Water Usage
Sustainability consultancy Tunley Environmental has launched an updated Eco Water Resource Assessment Service, now formally introduced as the Water Footprint Assessment Service, reflecting growing need for robust water sustainability practices across high-impact sectors. The service integrates globally recognized methodologies including ISO 14046 for water footprint analysis principles and the EU Water Framework Directive for conservation efforts. With the European Environment Agency reporting only 40% of European surface water meets good ecological standards, businesses face growing scrutiny to quantify and manage their water footprints. The service uses science-based methodology to evaluate…
Read MoreProtecting Water Sources: Securing Our Future
On World Water Day 2025, let us embrace the theme of glacier preservation, recognizing the urgent need to protect our planet’s glaciers, one of the most vital sources of freshwater. As the global warming and climate change accelerates glaciers melting, the consequences on global water security, ecosystems, and human populations are becoming increasingly severe. The Importance of Glaciers in Our Water Ecosystem Glaciers store approximately 70% of the world’s freshwater, acting as natural reservoirs that regulate water flow to rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources. In the mountainous regions like the…
