Ten years redefining water infrastructure
For years, the water sector spoke of an approaching turning point.
Below the surface: How flood modelling is helping Barcelona Metro build resilience
The flooding of Gorg station on Barcelona Metro Line 2, which took place on 16 December 2025, was a reminder of a challenge facing many cities: underground transport networks are highly exposed to intense rainfall, and even short-lived events can cause major disruption.
What waste is worth
Two numbers define the global wastewater business.
Sludge evaporation is better when reciprocated
Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are widely used for difficult heat transfer applications such as the evaporation of sludges and digestate, where fouling is an issue.
Pioneering sustainability in water infrastructure: Molecor’s commitment to a greener future
As global challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and resource depletion intensify, the industrial sector is undergoing a profound transformation.
Ceramic ultrafiltration in action: four applications, one consistent result
Read the full chronicle of this online event: Ceramic era, water filtration redefined
Technological integration driving sustainability and efficiency: automation in network inspections
In modern urban water infrastructure management, traditional operational models based on rectifying problems after they have occurred have become obsolete.
Ceramic ultrafiltration: from specialty technology to mainstream infrastructure

Beyond price: how value engineering creates long-term value in water infrastructure projects
As the global water sector faces growing challenges, from water scarcity and aging infrastructure to rising energy costs and climate-related pressures, the criteria used to evaluate infrastructure investments are evolving.
The case for ceramic: why the economics of ultrafiltration have shifted
For many years, the dominant narrative around ceramic ultrafiltration has been one of technical excellence tempered by economic caution: a technology that performs better than alternatives but costs more to install and therefore remains confined to the most demanding industrial niches.
From floodwaters to data centre drains: water’s role in climate litigation
A landmark annual report on global climate litigation trends has identified water, in its many forms, as an increasingly contested terrain in courtrooms around the world, as floods, droughts, water-hungry infrastructure and failing stormwater systems generate a new wave of legal challenges with direct implications for the water sector.
More than half of data centers face drought or flood risk, report finds
A new climate risk report finds that the majority of the world’s data center capacity is already operating under conditions that strain infrastructure, inflate costs, and expose investors to risks that current valuations do not reflect.
UNICEF report: floods, droughts and heat are putting over a billion children at risk
More than one billion children are now exposed to at least three simultaneous climate hazards, according to the Children's Climate Risk Report 2026.
Moody’s: water scarcity matters, but unpreparedness is the real credit risk
A new Moody's Ratings report draws a direct line between water system reliability and sovereign and corporate creditworthiness, arguing that infrastructure readiness and governance quality now shape financial outcomes as much as physical water scarcity does.
Quadrupling biogas production requires action at all levels
A new report by Guidehouse for the European Biogas Association (EBA) reveals that by 2030 Europe (the EU-27, the UK, Norway and Switzerland) has the potential to produce 34-35 billion cu.
A global report reveals the link between unsafe water and hunger
A landmark study spanning 121 countries has found that people without access to clean drinking water are pointedly more likely to go hungry, a link that holds even in wealthy nations and demands a fundamental rethink of how the world tackles food and water policy.
Amazon reports sevenfold water efficiency advantage over industry average in data centres
Amazon has disclosed that its global data centre network consumed 0.12 litres of water per kilowatt-hour (L/kWh) in 2025, a figure it says is more than seven times better than the industry average of 0.84 L/kWh.
GCFC and Water.org launch framework to fix water finance misalignment
The Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) and Water.org have published the Water Finance Framework, a practical tool aimed at one of the sector's most persistent problems: capital being deployed in the wrong places, in the wrong forms, for the wrong reasons.
The Ceramic Era is here: what it means for water treatment, in an upcoming webinar with Cerafiltec
Cerafiltec and Smart Water Magazine invite water professionals to a new webinar exploring how advanced ceramic ultrafiltration membrane technology is transforming water and wastewater treatment across municipal and industrial applications. Register here.
High-frequency simulations and real-time forecast analysis: Key to modern flood management
New early warning systems must be based on three key elements: the ability to simulate, predict, and analyze in real time; coordination between agencies and operators; and public education, risk awareness, and trust in the warning system, according to Xylem Vue.
