Veolia has released a press release announcing it is poised to expand its operated capacity by 2030.
Researchers develop low-cost method to produce green hydrogen and potable water from seawater
A Cornell-led collaboration has hit the trifecta of sustainability technology: The group developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free "green" hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater.
Cell membrane biology inspires design of new saltwater filters
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and the University of Fribourg have developed polymer water channels, similar to commonly used plastics, that can draw salt out of water, inspired by the body's own water filtering system.
SUEZ and CNRS establish a five-year strategic partnership to drive innovation in sustainable water
SUEZ and the CNRS have formalised a five-year framework agreement aimed at combining their research and development (R&D) efforts to create innovative solutions that promote sustainable resource management and advance decarbonization technologies.

Water filter with nanoscale channels selectively removes stubborn ‘forever chemicals’
Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that.
Researchers investigate how to keep water-conserving rain barrels free of mosquitoes
As people look to reduce their water use for environmental and ecological reasons, rain barrels have gained popularity for catching rainwater that can be stored and used for irrigation.
Kurita advances PFAS-free solutions for water treatment
Kurita Water Industries will begin full-scale efforts for joint developments to commercialize “PFAS-free components,” which neither contain PFAS materials nor use PFAS in the manufacturing process, for water treatment facilities.
An acelerated global oxygen cycle drives oxygen depletion in inland waters
Rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs aren’t just scenic parts of our landscape — they’re also vital engines for life on Earth.
“Switching to Filtralite is a seamless process bringing both technical and operational benefits”
Filtralite is proud to present an interview with Geir Norden, R&D specialist, and Jaran Wood, Environmental Manager, about how Filtralite helps to decrease CO2 emissions during the filtration stage in drinking water and wastewater plants, but also in pre-treatment for desalination.
New WHO research agenda for antimicrobial resistance highlights key WASH priorities
WHO has published a new Research Agenda for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Human Health.
Research exposes challenges in flood evacuation planning
New UC research has highlighted the underestimated relevance of water velocity in flood evacuation planning, a danger highlighted by the flooding in Valencia in 2024.

Water scarcity presents a growing challenge, particularly for industries and agriculture, the two largest consumers of this essential resource.
Scientists develop ultraprecise, efficient and flexible technique for analyzing nanoplastics
While the threat that microplastics pose to human and ecological health has been richly documented and is well known, nanoplastics, which are smaller than one micrometer (1/50th the thickness of an average human hair), are far more reactive, far more mobile and vastly more capable of crossing biological membranes.
Studio Ghibli AI imagery craze brings to light the high cost of water consumption
The recent trend of generating images with artificial intelligence, especially the viral Ghibli-style recreations, has reignited concerns over the environmental impact of these technologies, particularly their high water consumption.
New method eliminates PFAS from water systems and transforms waste into high-value graphene
Rice University researchers have developed an innovative solution to a pressing environmental challenge: removing and destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called “forever chemicals.”
