  Modern water networks are expected to deliver clean water efficiently, manage wastewater safely, and withstand growing operational pressures linked to urbanization, industrial demand, and climate variability. To achieve this, utility operators and engineers rely heavily on valves the components that regulate flow, maintain pressure, release trapped air, and protect infrastructure from damage. Among the most critical valve types used in water and wastewater systems are Gate Valves, Air Valves, and Needle (Control) Valves . Each performs a distinct role, but together they form the foundation of a safe, efficient, and long-lasting water distribution and treatment network. With global attention on sustainable infrastructure at events such as the Wetex Exhibition 2025 in Dubai , understanding the technical importance of these valve types has never been more relevant. The Role of Valves in Water and Wastewater Systems Valves act as the “control points” within a pipeline or treatment p...
