- Article· Water TechnologiesHow reverse osmosis worksOsmosis, the pressure that reverses it, and why the dense layer of an RO membrane keeps salt out.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· Digital WaterDigital Twins for Water Distribution Networks: From Proof of Concept to Operational DeploymentA water network digital twin combines a hydraulic model, real-time SCADA data, and machine learning to provide continuous operational insight. This article examines the five maturity levels of utility digital twins, the data infrastructure required, and the operational outcomes achieved by early adopters.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 SystemsThe Nile Basin Initiative and the GERD: Shared Waters Under StressThe Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile has produced the most consequential transboundary water dispute in Africa since the 1959 Nile Waters Agreement. This article outlines the hydrological stakes, the negotiating positions, and the legal frameworks in play.3 Nov 2026Read article
- Article· Water SystemsGroundwater Overextraction in the MENA Region: Scale, Drivers and Management ResponsesNon-renewable fossil aquifers supply 30–40% of freshwater withdrawal across the MENA region. This article examines depletion rates, saltwater intrusion trajectories, and the managed aquifer recharge programmes that are beginning to slow the decline.3 Nov 2026Read article
