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.

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

Discover how seven aquaculture farms overcome their unique challenges with Xylem technology, helping increase productivity and efficiency.

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.

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.

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

Two entrepreneurs turned to Xylem with an extraordinary project: they wanted to breed shrimp in the Alps, without using chemicals and antibiotics.

Across rural America, millions of people live without reliable access to clean, running water – often relying on aging or failing private wells. Xylem Watermark’s Hometown H2O program, in partnership with The Chris Long Foundation and Water Well Trust, is helping families restore water access and security through new or repaired wells. From Ohio to North Carolina, these projects are transforming daily life for families once struggling without water.

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.

Lake County Lake Lovers, a volunteer-driven initiative in Lake County, Illinois, is using Xylem’s water quality monitoring technology and expertise to assess the health of local lakes. Through community science, public engagement, and data-driven restoration, the group is inspiring citizens and leaders to take action to improve local water bodies.

Christopher Whitfeld and Wenqi (Jonathan) Zhao from the United Kingdom have received the prestigious prize for their work on PFAS pollution.

This November, for every kilometer you run, bike or walk Xylem Watermark will donate $1 to a community water project. Sign up today to get started!
