Amid the digitization of the water sector, the risks posed by cyber threats are growing. Learn how utilities can modernize while staying secure.

Naomi Park has received the prestigious Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2023 for her research on the removal of carbon dioxide and oil products from the ocean.

This year’s winners of the Xylem Global Student Innovation Challenge created a bioreactor to reduce the water footprint needed to create hydrogen.

Alexis de Kerchove, Senior Director of Client Sustainability at Xylem, discusses scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and how water utilities can measure them.

Kenneth Crowther, Product Security Leader at Xylem, discusses how utilities can embrace the benefits of digital while strengthening security protections.

Xylem’s water utility customers are using practical, innovative solutions to tackle the critical water challenge of non-revenue water. Read three case studies.

The Publiacqua treatment plant uses low-speed, high-efficiency Flygt 4530 mixers, which can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%.

The water sector’s transformation is gaining pace. Water and wastewater utilities are deploying digital solutions on a larger scale and demonstrating how data and analytics can optimize operations and enhance services for communities. Sharing insights from the pacesetters is an important factor in accelerating progress.

The city of Bristol, England, receives nearly half of its drinking water from the River Severn, supplied via the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. New column pumps from Xylem’s Flygt brand transport an average of 100 million liters of water a day, while reducing energy use and CO2 emissions.

A successful condition assessment program uses the right mix of methods to cost-effectively reduce risk. Do spot checks deserve a place in the toolbox for managing prestressed concrete pipelines?

Digitalization has proven to be a vital tool in building collaboration across teams to deliver compelling results. It is one of the major trends that emerges in “Ripple Effect: A Movement Towards Digital Transformation,” a new paper capturing insights from global utility leaders and experts about their experience of “going digital.” The full paper will be released next month.

To track progress toward Net Zero, in late 2022, Xylem commissioned a survey of utilities across North America and Europe. We spoke with Austin Alexander, Vice President, Sustainability and Social Impact at Xylem, to break down the results and understand how utilities are decarbonizing quickly and affordably.

Employee health and safety is critical at Xylem as we work to solve the world’s toughest water challenges. We’ve set ambitious 2025 health and safety goals and established a rigorous continuous improvement approach at Xylem locations around the globe.

What are today’s best opportunities for reducing the environmental impact of pumping systems? That’s the question Stephanie Smith asked Xylem’s expert engineers when she started her role as Director of Global Product Sustainability. Here’s what she learned.

For Earth Day 2023, we’re spotlighting 5 ways that Xylem is investing in our planet by reducing our environmental impact. We’re committed to being a responsible corporate steward, advancing sustainability across our company footprint, and through our customer solutions and work to serve communities, as we address the world’s water challenges.

How digital twin technology can help water utilities ride the digital wave

Water utilities are increasingly using digital twin technology at the asset level to optimize maintenance and lower costs. Here’s how a wastewater utility in Europe used digital twin technology to solve cavitation issues at a pumping station.

Operators need to efficiently manage drinking water networks, but they often lack visibility into their systems to make data-driven decisions. Learn how one utility is using hydroinformatics and a network digital twin to improve operations.

Andrea Rinaldo’s pioneering research has led to new insights into the complex ways in which water shapes the Earth’s surface and ecosystems.

Digital twin technology helps water utilities manage resources more efficiently and make smarter decisions about infrastructure. But if your water utility hasn’t used digital twin technology before, what’s the best way to get started? Here’s a three-step approach that will help you get faster results.

Volunteering to solve water and create a better world is a shared passion that brings together Xylem colleagues around the globe. In 2022, 87% of employees, or more than 15,000 colleagues, volunteered through the company’s social responsibility program, Xylem Watermark – collectively dedicating 157,000 hours to education about water challenges, expanding access to safe water and sanitation, and supporting communities in crisis, among other focus areas. We asked five of Xylem’s most active volunteers, members of Watermark’s Make Your Mark club, to share what inspires them most about solving water.
