The American Society of Civil Engineers' "Report Card for America's Infrastructure" provides an opportunity to talk about the need to fund water infrastructure projects.

When it comes to tap water, some people mistakenly believe that a contaminant detected at any level is unsafe, eschewing the toxicological principle that “the dose makes the poison.” This allows many entities – from unscrupulous home filter scammers to advocates with good intentions but questionable tactics – to call into question even the safest glasses of water.

El Paso Water in Texas recently broke ground on an innovative Advanced Water Purification Facility that will provide an additional future water supply in the increasingly arid region.

Losing water due to broken pipes is part of operating a water system. Water utilities work to minimize the amount of water that is lost and allocate funds to repair infrastructure. 

Researchers in Oregon recently discovered that an aquifer in the area is significantly larger than previously believed.

Research findings recently published in Science Advances suggest much of Earth’s water may have come from comets in space.

Bottled water certainly has a valuable place as a beverage, especially during a water emergency. But because your tap water most likely meets all federal, state or provincial drinking water standards, there's no need to buy bottled water outside of an emergency.

Some significant weather events serve the valuable purpose of injecting precipitation into the water cycle.

Research conducted by mechanical engineers at the University of Utah is showing significant progress toward pulling water out of the air.

When the City of Calgary’s water infrastructure unexpectedly failed after a 78-inch water main broke, creating a crisis, a fellow water utility quickly stepped up to help.
