Utilities, contractors, equipment suppliers, and investors have a lot of questions about federal water infrastructure funding right now. How is money moving, where is it landing, and what does project activity looks like over the next few years? Bluefield's Senior Analyst Charlie Suse joins host Reese Tisdale to walk through the federal funding landscape, from State Revolving Funds (SRF) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) deployment to the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) wind-down. The conversation covers where capital is concentrated, why deployment gaps persist, and what the next era of federal water funding realistically looks like. Key questions include: What are the primary federal funding channels for water and wastewater utilities today? What does the current SRF landscape look like? Which segments are capturing the most funding, and which are facing the longest queues? How transformational has IIJA actually been? How do WIFIA and ARPA fit into the current market? Why does a persistent gap exist between funding commitments and shovel-ready projects? What does the next era of federal water infrastructure funding realistically look like?

On this episode of the On Water Podcast, Jin Choi sits down with four-time guest Ruth Altaye to talk about how their friendship formed and deepened over three years through shared church community, worship, and one pivotal seven-hour conversation marked by vulnerability. They reflect on the difference between “intentional/ministry” conversations and truly knowing someone, and how communication, clarification, and noticing each other's needs helped them navigate anxious/avoidant tendencies, misunderstandings, and a few disagreements. They discuss friendship “seasons,” learning not to measure closeness by feelings or time alone, and choosing trust based on history and character. They also explore sacrifice in friendship as joyful giving of time, effort, and comfort, and end by encouraging listeners to do the work with God, pursue community, invite others, and not view themselves as defective in relationships.

Europe's stormwater crisis has been building for decades—and the numbers are now impossible to ignore. The last three decades rank among the worst for flooding in 500 years of European records. In 2024 alone, floods killed more than 330 people, displaced 413,000, and caused €18 billion in damages. Bluefield Research has sized the European stormwater market at €643 billion in projected CAPEX through 2036—but chronic underfunding, fragmented procurement, and widening climate risk mean the opportunity is anything but uniform. In this episode, Reese Tisdale sits down with Bluefield senior analyst Antonio del Olmo to unpack what's driving the investment gap, where the real growth markets are, and how the competitive landscape is shifting as digital-first players challenge the traditional hardware model. Key questions include: Why do the last three decades constitute a crisis rather than a long-term infrastructure challenge? How does Europe's stormwater market stay chronically underfunded? What does the regional investment picture look like for companies trying to enter or grow in this market? As the traditional hardware distribution model faces pressure, what does the new competitive playbook look like—and who is getting it right? Are digital-first players bypassing the traditional product sale a threat to hardware incumbents, or is it still early noise?

Today Matt and Todd are joined once again by Fire & Water Podcast Network's “Shagg” Matthews for another cartoon classic: this time the one that started an empire of spooky hijinks, bubble‑gum pop, and unmaskings.We're talking 1969's Scooby‑Doo, Where Are You!, the original series that launched the entire Scooby‑Doo franchise and set the tone for everything that followed. The classic gags, the groovy chase songs, the chocolate‑sauce‑covered salami, the Scooby Snacks, and of course… the meddling.Premiering on September 13th, 1969, Scooby‑Doo, Where Are You! was an instant hit and remains a time‑worn classic nearly six decades later. Through countless TV series, films, comics, crossovers, reboots, and reinventions, the original still stands tall as the blueprint for the entire mystery‑solving genre.Created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears (later of Ruby‑Spears Productions, the team behind many 1980s Saturday‑morning staples) the show features the immortal original cast, iconic theme recordings, and some of the grooviest bubble‑gum pop ever pressed onto a cartoon soundtrack. Season 2's chase songs alone (Pretty Mary Sunlight, Daydreamin', etc.) are a vibe all their own.Scooby‑Doo, Where Are You! remains a perfect time capsule that still sets the standard for the entire Scooby‑Doo diaspora that followed.Featuring the original voice cast:Don Messick as Scooby‑Doo and miscellaneous charactersCasey Kasem as Shaggy Rogers and miscellaneous charactersFrank Welker as Fred Jones and miscellaneous charactersStefanianna Christopherson (Season 1) and Heather North (Seasons 2–3) as Daphne BlakeNicole Jaffe as Velma DinkleyMusic: Season 1 theme: Larry Marks Season 2 theme & chase songs: Austin RobertsWhether you grew up with the original, discovered it through reruns, or came in through one of the many later incarnations, Scooby‑Doo, Where Are You! remains a foundational piece of animated mystery‑comedy—still funny, still charming, still groovy.Special thanks to "Shagg" again for joining us in revisiting the legendary highjinks of the beloved great dane and gang.Find the Irredeemable Shagg @ the Fire & Water Podcast here on Spotify and https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/Spotify – SearchFor the 'Fire And Water Podcast Network' and 'The Irredeemable Shagg'_____________Matt has over 100+ lists for movie suggestions on ⁠Letterboxd⁠You can reach out on Bluesky: @MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under under the alias Marcus at ⁠⁠⁠⁠Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠.Follow who we follow at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠⁠s

Intergenerational Communication in Church Media: Trust, Authenticity, and Reaching Gen ZOn the On Water Podcast, host Jin Choi introduces a workshop from the ACP/CCCA conference “Reaching Across Divides” on intergenerational communication, featuring Jin (Millennial), Kayla (Gen Z, national director of How to Life), and Chris Vascher (Gen X, founder of ClearWay Church Solutions). They discuss how churches and Christian media can communicate across generations amid shifting mediums from print to digital, widespread institutional mistrust, and Gen Z's search for stability, authenticity, justice, and relational trust. Chris contrasts 20th-century leadership (visionary, directive, results-driven) with 21st-century leadership (coaching, relationship, outcomes), while Kayla highlights collaborative structures, accountability, and rest rhythms. The group explores storytelling and behind-the-scenes transparency to build trust, and addresses the need for confession, repentance, and reconciliation to avoid losing younger generations.

Australia is living what much of the world is still bracing for. A decade-long drought forced sweeping national action, and the country has been building toward a system-wide digital response ever since. Today, the results are visible in full-scale smart metering rollouts, rising investment in leak detection and customer engagement software, and a US$17 billion cumulative market opportunity through 2036—extraordinary concentration of spend relative to a population of just 26 million people. Reese Tisdale sits down with Leigh Ramsey, a senior analyst at Bluefield Research, to unpack the digital water landscape in Australia. From the structural pressures reshaping utility investment to the surprising vendors winning major contracts, the conversation maps a market that is both a case study in crisis response and a preview of where water-stressed regions around the world are headed. Key questions include: What led Bluefield to map Australia's digital water landscape, and why is it a market worth watching globally? How does Australia rank as a digital water market globally, and is it punching above its weight given its relatively small population? What structural pressures are forcing Australian utilities to digitize faster than they might otherwise choose to? How are utilities leveraging digital solutions to address those pressures? Which technology segments are growing fastest, and where should vendors be focused? Who are the players to watch, and how is the competitive landscape shifting? What can the rest of the world learn from Australia's experience?

In this episode of the On Water Podcast, I share three mental health tips as a psychotherapist who loves Jesus and wants faith and psychology to integrate well. First, in conflict, I practice clarifying intent while also correcting behavior, so I can extend grace and still set boundaries. Second, when I struggle with identity or low self-esteem, I ask where the belief started—often in childhood—and do the deeper work of uprooting lies, forgiving, and grounding my identity in Christ. Third, for anxiety and “what if” thoughts, I follow the thought to the end to find safety, and I calm my body through silence, solitude, prayer, and rest.

In this episode, I'm sharing what God has been doing in my life and encouraging listeners to take steps of faith. I recount leading worship at my church's youth conference, Awakening, themed “Unbound,” focused on breaking chains, strongholds, and generational curses. Despite intense preparation, my team faced spiritual attacks like sleeplessness and physical pain, and I lost his voice days before the event. After waking at 5 a.m. to pray, I felt God tell me to “just show up” and trust God to sustain me, reflecting on Peter walking on water and Romans 12:3 about faith God distributes. Reflecting on the question “Is He worthy?”—how lifestyle, service, and choices reveal Jesus' worth—contrasting Judas with the disciples, referencing Proverbs 22 and Joshua 1, and urging perseverance, service, and courage.

U.S. household water and sewer bills rose 5.1% in 2025—the steepest annual increase in five years and a 24.2% jump since 2020. Rates are rising faster than general inflation, with chemicals, energy, labor, and construction all contributing to sustained upward pressure. Bluefield analyst Megan Bondar joins Reese Tisdale to unpack new data covering 50 major U.S. cities. The conversation examines why water and wastewater rates are moving at different speeds, how regional factors shape what households pay, and what structural forces are locking in higher costs for the long term. Key questions addressed: What's really breaking in the utility cost model as rates outpace inflation? What does the divergence between water and wastewater rates signal about where utilities are being forced to spend? At what point do rising bills become a real affordability crisis—and how close are we? Why do water bills vary so dramatically by location, and what does that reveal about the U.S. water sector? What structural forces—infrastructure, climate, and regulation—are locking in higher rates going forward?

At more than 70% of U.S. water withdrawals, agriculture is one of the most significant drivers of water demand in the country. In this episode, host Reese Tisdale sits down with Bluefield Analyst Olivia Kranefuss to unpack her newly released report, Water for U.S. Agriculture: Irrigation Trends, Technology Adoption, and Market Forecasts, 2026–2031, and the US$84 billion transition reshaping how the market spends over the next several years. The conversation covers where capital is flowing across a cost structure dominated by energy and labor, the key shifts underway in technology adoption and company strategy, and what the M&A moves of major players signal about where the market is heading. Key questions addressed include: What's driving an US$84 billion spending shift in a relatively mature market? Across the full cost structure—equipment, labor, energy, digital tools—where are farmers and irrigation providers actually allocating capital? How does the fragmented, family-farm-dominated demand base shape technology adoption and vendor strategy? As the irrigation sector faces a strategic divide, is the market shifting from hardware to software-driven value creation? What's driving rapid growth in digital irrigation technologies, and how big is the opportunity relative to traditional equipment? What structural barriers are slowing adoption—and what do companies need to understand before entering this market? Where are the biggest opportunities ahead for equipment suppliers, technology companies, and infrastructure providers?

Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data center growth is reshaping not only electricity markets, but water demand across the value chain. In this episode, podcast host Reese Tisdale sits down with Research Director Amber Walsh to discuss the broader water footprint of data centers—both onsite and offsite—and why the conversation is shifting beyond cooling towers to the power generation fleet. While new AI cooling systems are becoming more efficient and, in some cases, shrinking onsite water intensity, the surge in electricity demand is driving a much larger indirect water footprint. From delayed coal retirements to new natural gas capacity and nuclear recommissioning, the power sector's role in supporting data center growth is raising important questions about long-term water exposure. Key questions addressed: Is the AI-driven data center boom redefining water risk—from municipal cooling systems to the power generation fleet? Are data centers triggering a structural reversal in industrial water demand? Which fuel pathway—natural gas, nuclear, or extended coal—creates the most material water exposure over the next decade? Are we concentrating data center expansion in regions where power is affordable but water is constrained—and what does that mean long term? Where do market opportunities exist across the value chain? Do data centers use a lot of water?

Energy represents one of the largest and most manageable cost centers for water and wastewater utilities—accounting for 10–40% of operating budgets. Unlike other operational expenditures like labor, utilities can modify the amount of energy used and how much it costs by choosing the right combination of technologies. As electricity demand in the global water sector is projected to reach 4–8% of total global consumption by 2040, utilities face mounting pressure to reduce costs, manage volatility, and meet carbon reduction targets. In this episode, Bluefield senior analyst Maria Cardenal joins host Reese Tisdale to discuss findings from a new global report on energy optimization across water and wastewater operations. The conversation covers: Where the biggest savings lie: Pump optimization and aeration control represent 70–80% of total energy consumption, with digital solutions delivering 15–40% energy savings and payback periods as short as 2–3 months Regional adoption patterns: Why Europe is leading through regulatory mandates like the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, while North America remains ROI-driven with uneven uptake The technology shift: How utilities are moving from hardware-first approaches to software-led optimization built on AI, digital twins, and advanced analytics Hidden benefits beyond energy bills: Extended asset life, deferred capital expenditures, and reduced maintenance costs that often represent the largest financial returns If you enjoy listening to The Future of Water Podcast, please tell a friend or colleague, and if you haven't already, please click to follow this podcast wherever you listen.

As 2025 wraps up, we're closing out the year with five big questions shaping the water sector—and a few bold predictions for what's ahead. In this episode, host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield VP & Managing Director Keith Hays to tackle the trends and challenges defining water investment right now. 1. Data centers are growing 12.2% annually and driving the U.S. industrial water market. Is AI's thirst the crisis or the opportunity the water sector has been waiting for? 2. Housing construction in the U.S. dropped 15% since 2022, breaking the historic model of 'new homes = new pipes.' If growth isn't driving investment anymore, what is? 3. Europe's betting big on semiconductors, hydrogen, and EV batteries with its Water Resilience Strategy. Are they building infrastructure for industries that might not materialize—or positioning for the next industrial revolution while the U.S. fumbles? 4. Midstream water in oil and gas has gone from cyclical commodity play to structural necessity. Did the water sector accidentally become geopolitically important, or have they just not realized it yet? 5. Water bills have increased 24% in five years, and some cities are hitting EPA affordability thresholds. What breaks first—the infrastructure or the public's willingness to pay? Keith and Reese also place their contrarian bets for 2026 and tackle a speed round on what will define the next decade, where smart investment is headed, and who holds more power in 2035: those who own the infrastructure, or those who own the customer.

Fair Market Value (FMV) has become a critical—yet often misunderstood—tool for addressing fragmentation across the U.S. water sector. Designed to give municipalities a clearer path and a cleaner valuation when selling assets, FMV is now shaping deal flow, policy debates, and competitive strategies nationwide. In this episode of The Future of Water, podcast host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield colleague Megan Bondar, who has just wrapped up analysis on FMV and its growing role as a legislated mechanism to streamline water and wastewater utility acquisitions. Bluefield's water experts get into why FMV is back in the spotlight, how it differs from traditional acquisitions, and what more than a decade of deal activity reveals about the road ahead. Key discussion points: What prompted Bluefield to undertake this updated Fair Market Value analysis now? What exactly is “Fair Market Value,” and why does it matter in utility M&A? What are the most significant impacts and trends emerging from a decade of FMV deals? Where is FMV being used most today, and how is the competitive landscape evolving?

Biosolids are an unavoidable byproduct of wastewater treatment, and U.S. utilities are facing increasing challenges managing them amid tightening landfill capacity, rising hauling costs, and growing concerns about contaminants like PFAS. With 6.3 million dry metric tons produced every year, biosolids are becoming one of the fastest-growing operating expenses for wastewater utilities. In this episode of The Future of Water, host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield's Pat Byrne to break down the current state of biosolids management in the U.S.—from landfilling and incineration to beneficial use pathways—and to highlight the regional disparities, regulatory pressures, and emerging technologies reshaping utility strategies. What biosolids are, how they're produced, and the main disposal and beneficial use pathways utilities rely on. The rising challenges of landfilling and incineration, including high costs, methane emissions, aging facilities, and limited capacity. The growing influence of PFAS, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals, and why utilities are passive receivers of these contaminants. How biosolids have become one of the fastest-growing operating costs, with annual spending rising from US$2.5B in 2025 to US$4.8B in 2035. Significant regional disparities, from high costs and tight capacity in the Northeast to heavier landfill reliance in the Southeast. New technologies and delivery models—from drying and dewatering to pyrolysis, gasification, SCWO, and DBOOM structures—reshaping future strategies.
