During construction of a new convention center in Muskegon, Michigan, PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, was detected in the water being pumped out to build the foundation. Construction Simplified contacted Evoqua Water Technologies, a Xylem company, which quickly delivered a mobile solution that treated 21 million gallons (79,500 cubic meters) of water. By the end of the project, the mobile treatment solution had removed the PFAS to non-detect levels.

Xylem veterans share how the skills they honed during their military service, from innovative problem-solving to teambuilding to rapid response, help them tackle urgent water challenges such as advanced treatment after Hurricane Helene and dewatering after severe weather and water main breaks.

As extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and flooding become more frequent, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are putting greater strain on urban water systems.  These overflow events not only threaten local ecosystems but also pose public health risks. To meet these growing challenges, utilities need smarter, data-driven approaches to effectively manage and mitigate CSOs.

The Kariba Dam holds back the world’s largest artificial reservoir and generates power for millions of people in Zambia and Zimbabwe. A recent study of the dam showed how it affects the release of greenhouse gas emissions in the reservoir and downstream. Using Xylem’s YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde for continuous monitoring, researchers gained new insights into how hydropower plants can be optimized to reduce carbon emissions.
