Special Report: “Trends in Water and Wastewater Technology”

In 2026, water and wastewater technology will be significantly shaped by digitalization, resource conservation, and growing pressure to adapt due to climate change. At the heart of this is increasing automation driven by the IoT, sensor technology, and real-time analysis, complemented by generative AI and agent-based systems that are increasingly taking over operations, early detection, and control autonomously—accompanied by the growing importance of cybersecurity in highly interconnected infrastructures. Another key focus is on water reuse and the extraction of resources from wastewater—such as through energy and nutrient recovery—supported by technologies like membrane bioreactors, reverse osmosis, and advanced oxidation processes. At the same time, decentralized, modular treatment plants are gaining in importance, as they are flexible, quick to install, and particularly well-suited for growing regions or industrial sites. At the market level, the trend toward service and operating models continues: municipalities and industry are increasingly turning to public-private partnerships and full-service contracts to address labor shortages and investment burdens. Last but not least, energy efficiency, robust process technology, and adaptation to extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and drought are driving the industry’s technological advancement in a decisive manner.

What is a dossier?

Previously published editorial articles on a trend topic are summarized in a dossier, which is then published as a white paper behind a registration.

Do you currently have no content of your own but are looking for interested parties on this trending topic? Then become a sponsor of a dossier, so you can position yourself with high-quality content and generate qualified leads.
