Data and digital technology are increasing priorities for the water industry, helping utilities solve real problems. But while there are many paths to digitalization, there are also pitfalls.

Andrés Ruzo’s research on the Boiling River in Peru’s Amazonian rainforest has inspired millions and helped make the river a conservation priority.

The semiconductor manufacturer converts 70% of readily available municipal water into Type E-1 ultrapure water, while minimizing maintenance and downtime.

Xylem experts explore the role of water in hydrogen production, the importance of sustainable strategies, and how to minimize water-related risks.

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.

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.

NLN Farms, located near the coastal town of Chocowinity, North Carolina, needed to transfer water from four aquaculture ponds to a nearby reservoir. The farm selected Xylem's Godwin CD100 dewatering pump for the job, with Field Smart Technology, which enables real-time monitoring and control of the pump from a smartphone.

When heavy rains hit, minutes matter. A few extra moments of warning can mean the difference between reaching safety before a flood or being caught by rising waters. That urgency drove German students Jana Spiller and Niklas Ruf to design WarnMe, a low-cost, open-source flood warning system for small towns and rural communities.

To move forward with long overdue infrastructure upgrades, Nodra AB needed a wastewater bypass solution capable of lifting up to 3,000 liters per second into its Slottshagens treatment plant. Xylem’s Rental Solutions team set up a turnkey wastewater bypass station in a little over three weeks. Through dedicated service personnel and remote, digital monitoring and control, Xylem provided 24/7 operational support throughout the 10-week bypass.

The utility Roslagsvatten in Sweden needed a more efficient way to inspect its pump stations. It decided to test Avensor Remote Inspection from Xylem, a brand-agnostic hardware kit that sends live video, audio and data to operators. The solution reduced pump station visits by 50%, giving operators more time to focus on crucial tasks.

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.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating global conversations, as people question what it will mean for society and how to identify the best ways to put its transformative powers to work responsibly. We’re already seeing the incredible impact of Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and ChatGPT on our everyday lives. How will AI shape the future of water?

The water sector has a role to play in the global effort to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and helping to slow climate change. Our sector is energy-intensive, and technology now gives us an opportunity to manage water much more efficiently.

Globally renowned recognition reinforces Xylem’s commitment to protecting employees and driving a culture of care and well-being.

In honor of International Women’s Day 2023, Xylem is gathering leaders across the company for panel discussions on this year’s theme #EmbraceEquity. Making Waves caught up with four panelists who are helping Xylem customers around the globe overcome water challenges.

What can an Antarctic lake tell us about the origins of life on Earth, and how can it help guide our search for life on Mars? These are some of the questions researchers hope to answer using Xylem’s YSI Technology as they dive deep beneath the surface of Antarctica’s Lake Untersee. Join them on a journey three billion years into the past.

The Great Book of Water helps children around the world learn about water and how it touches every part of our lives. The book was originally written in Spanish by Xylem’s Denise Pouleurs to fill what she saw as a gap in the market. Here’s her story.
