Opflow (Opflow)

Opflow is a long‑established, monthly professional magazine (first published in 1975) that serves the global water utility community, especially operators responsible for water treatment, distribution, and wastewater systems. Published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and disseminated with archival access through Wiley platforms, Opflow emphasizes practical knowledge and field‑tested insights. Unlike peer‑reviewed scientific journals, Opflow focuses on real‑world operational challenges, offering clear, concise articles designed to help utility personnel improve the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of water and wastewater systems. Its content is rich in case studies, how‑to procedures, problem‑solving techniques, and regulatory updates, often contributed directly by operators who share their hands‑on experience. Regular features such as “Certification Corner” help readers prepare for operator certification exams, while the “Gimmicks & Gadgets” section highlights innovative tools and techniques developed within the profession. With its practical orientation, Opflow functions as both a technical resource and community forum, enabling operators at small systems and large utilities alike to learn from each other’s experiences. Over decades of publication, the magazine has become a respected resource within AWWA and the broader water industry, supporting professional development and operational excellence in water and wastewater management.
