- Article· Knowledge & TrainingWater Operator Competency and Certification: A Global Framework OverviewWater operator certification — requiring demonstrated competency in treatment process management, hydraulic operations, water quality monitoring and emergency response — is a cornerstone of safe water supply. This overview compares the US, EU, Australian and IWA frameworks and the core competency domains they share.3 Nov 2026Read article
- Article· Agriculture & IrrigationIrrigation Water Quality Assessment: SAR, EC and Soil Permeability ImpactsThe Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and electrical conductivity (EC) are the two primary indices for assessing irrigation water suitability. This article explains how they are calculated, how they interact to affect soil permeability and crop yield, and how the Ayers-Westcot framework translates measurements into practical irrigation restrictions.3 Nov 2026Read article
- Article· Water TechnologiesReverse Osmosis Membrane Selection: An Engineering Guide for Water Treatment ProjectsSelecting the right RO membrane element requires balancing salt rejection, permeate flux, fouling resistance, pressure rating, and total cost of ownership. This guide walks through the key parameters, qualification testing, and the CAPEX/OPEX trade-offs relevant to seawater, brackish water, and wastewater reuse applications.3 Nov 2026Read article
- Article· Processes & OperationsCT Disinfection Control: Managing Chlorine Contact Time in Drinking Water PlantsCT (concentration × time) is the regulatory metric for drinking water disinfection efficacy. This article explains how to calculate, monitor and optimise CT under variable flow, temperature and pH conditions, with worked examples for free-chlorine, chloramine and UV systems.3 Nov 2026Read article
- Article· Water GovernanceImplementing the OECD Principles on Water Governance: A Practitioner's GuideThe OECD adopted 12 principles on water governance in 2015, structured around effectiveness, efficiency and trust.
