Xylem’s new sustainability commitments will help industrial customers reduce annual water demand and provide more people with climate-resilient WASH access.

South Coast Mariculture wanted to better understand the water quality conditions of their mussel farms in Jervis Bay, located in New South Wales, Australia. After deploying Xylem’s YSI buoy with EXO2 multiparameter sonde, they now have data that can help them increase productivity, better understand the water column, and expand their aquaculture business.

Explore Xylem’s 2024 highlights, from advancing water innovation to achieving sustainability goals, combating PFAS, and securing global water resources.

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

Learn how one New York water utility uses Xylem Vue to integrate data and optimize its wastewater management systems.

PFAS treatment technologies can reduce PFAS to non-detectable levels, helping water utilities and companies stay compliant with stricter regulations.

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 technology delivers best in water quality for the largest swim meet in history.

Every hour the UV system can treat as much drinking water as almost nine Olympic swimming pools.

A wastewater treatment plant in France used a customized bypass solution from Xylem to efficiently reroute 10,000 cubic meters of water per hour.

From droughts to floods to leaking pipes, water utilities are under more pressure than ever. Traditional infrastructure wasn’t designed for today’s demands, but digital technology is helping close the gap. Tucson Water, Buffalo Sewer Authority and Hot Springs are three utilities leveraging Xylem’s intelligent solutions to identify and address issues before they happen – providing a cleaner, more reliable water supply for the communities they serve.

Everyone is talking about digital twin technology, but what are its most practical applications and benefits for water utilities? Let’s take a look.

2025 has been dubbed the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, shining a spotlight on the growing role of computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in tackling the world’s most pressing challenges.

For International Women's Day 2025, Xylem is highlighting 5 women colleagues who are empowering customers and partners to build a more water-secure world.

Flowing through the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee, Beaver Creek is more than just a local waterway – it’s a 303(d) listed stream, meaning it’s been flagged by the state as needing environmental restoration. A 303(d) designation comes with strict pollution limits for everything from nutrients and bacteria to heavy metals and chemicals.

Utilities worldwide are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency, anticipate challenges, and secure their water supply. In this Q&A, Xylem’s Vice President of AI Solutions and Impact, Austin Alexander, explains how people and technology together are shaping a more resilient, data-driven future for water management.

Learn how Xylem’s EHS program strengthens safety, empowers employees, improves performance, and creates lasting value for customers.

A wastewater treatment plant in Italy continued operations during a renovation using a rental solution for an activated sludge filter, the Sanitaire Taron.

At Xylem’s Emmaboda facility, circular economy practices are part of everyday production. Its on-site foundry sources over 85% of its iron from recycled or reclaimed materials, helping to reduce waste and reliance on virgin resources. At the same time, a purpose-built water treatment plant allows the factory to reuse 100% of its process water – 20 million liters per year.

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.

Researchers and disaster response teams are deploying advanced solutions to strengthen flood resilience. Here are three innovators making a difference.

In recognition of International Volunteer Day, Making Waves spoke with Xylem colleague and Watermark Ambassador and volunteer, Carolina Casserly.

Appalachian Hydro Associates (AHA) in Ravenna, Kentucky, was seeking to develop a more cost-effective model for small hydro projects. AHA partnered with Berea College to offset the upfront investments, then began planning a small hydroelectric power plant at an abandoned lock chamber along the Kentucky River. With five Flygt hydro turbines from Xylem, the plant is now a source of revenue for the college, producing 500 kilowatts of energy per turbine.
