Aging pipes and hidden leaks were causing millions of gallons of treated water to disappear every day. By shifting to real-time monitoring and advanced leak detection, one city moved from reacting to problems to anticipating them.💧 #LetsSolveWater

The future of water innovation was on display at this year's #StockholmJuniorWaterPrize, where students from more than 40 countries showcased solutions to some of the world's most pressing water challenges. Congratulations to Moroti Adegboyega (Canada), winner of the 2026 Stockholm Junior Water Prize, for developing Ecoferroquatics, an #AI-guided platform that selectively removes plastic from water while helping protect marine life. His project demonstrates the power of combining science, technology and creativity to address a growing global challenge. We also recognize Laura Ivanka (Hungary), recipient of the Diploma of Excellence, for her innovative and entrepreneurial approach to water solutions, and Basmala Diab (Egypt), winner of the People's Choice Award, for transforming agricultural waste into a tool for cleaner water and energy. As a founding global sponsor of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, we are inspired by the talent, curiosity and determination of these young innovators. Their work is a reminder that the ideas shaping a more water-secure future are already emerging today. Congratulations to all of this year's participants and finalists. Thank you to the Stockholm Water Foundation and SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute for continuing to create a platform where the next generation of water leaders can learn, collaborate and make an impact. https://lnkd.in/e_u4T8DS #WorldWaterWeek #LetsSolveWater

Most utilities are managing infrastructure that’s aging faster than budgets and staffing levels can keep up. At the same time, communities expect reliability around the clock.  Preventative Maintenance Agreements (PMAs) shift maintenance from reactive, emergency-driven repairs to a predictable, planned approach. This helps utilities avoid unexpected failures, reduce operational stress and maintain consistent performance – even when resources are stretched thin. Resilience isn’t reactive; it’s intentional – and when utilities invest in preventative care, communities feel the difference. https://lnkd.in/e-g9YkEv

Some of the most powerful conversations begin with a shared experience. As Manchester City’s Official Water Technology Partner, we're proud to use the reach of football to inspire action on water. At a very special event in Hong Kong, our partnership with Manchester City brought customers, colleagues and the local community together for a WASH education session. Young participants were surprised by Manchester City players, who joined the football activities and helped turn the day into an experience to remember. Meaningful partnerships create real impact when they meet customers and communities where they are. Thank you to Manchester City Football Club and everyone who made the session possible. #LetsSolveWater #Mancity

From everyday reliability to long‑term preservation, continuous protection is what makes resilience possible.   In Tucson, always-on monitoring helps utilities detect pipeline stress early and respond before service is disrupted. At the Giza Plateau, automated groundwater control manages changing conditions below the surface, protecting the foundations of the Sphinx and pyramids from erosion.   Across very different environments, continuous operation plays the same role: enabling water systems to adapt in real time and safeguard communities and historic assets without interruption. #LetsSolveWater

Today, we announced an agreement to acquire Cornell and Roper, U.S.-based pump businesses serving industrial and municipal applications. The acquisition expands Xylem's participation in mission-critical applications and strengthens our portfolio with highly engineered pumping technologies and specialized expertise. Cornell Pump Company, LLC and Roper Pump Company bring decades of application expertise across construction and mining, food and beverage, agriculture, energy and municipal markets. At a time when infrastructure, industry and communities are placing greater demands on water systems, these added capabilities will broaden our ability to help customers address increasingly complex water and infrastructure challenges. We are excited to welcome the Cornell and Roper teams to Xylem. https://lnkd.in/etANTbsA

Water has long been essential to every industry, but it's increasingly becoming a strategic constraint. As AI infrastructure expands, advanced manufacturing grows and climate pressures intensify, demand for reliable water resources continues to rise. Yet despite underpinning more than 60% of global GDP, water still attracts only a small fraction of climate-related investment. In a recent interview with Global Corporate Venturing, Sivan Zamir shares why the water sector's biggest challenge isn't a lack of innovation, but the ability to scale proven solutions. From reducing "death by pilot" and accelerating commercialization to building stronger partnerships across utilities, investors, regulators and technology providers, the focus must shift from simply developing new technologies to deploying them more effectively. As Sivan notes, innovation delivers its greatest value when it reaches customers and communities at scale.

Lake County Lake Lovers is a volunteer-led initiative working to improve the health of local lakes in Illinois.     Over seven months, 31 volunteers sampled 12 lakes twice a month, logging more than 2,800 hours and sharing data publicly to track progress and inspire community action that led to real improvements in nearby waters.    Local passion, accessible technology and transparent data are turning neglected lakes into learning hubs where volunteers, students and community leaders can come together to tackle water challenges and build healthier ecosystems for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/eSM2g3GA   #LetsSolveWater

Utilities are looking beyond data collection to actionable insights that drive better decisions. In conversations at #ACE26, we heard growing interest in practical AI applications, sustainability integrated into everyday operations, and strategies that help utilities build resilience for the future. Here's takeaways from our team from this year's conference. American Water Works Association
