The Salty Water Podcast

Salty Water Podcast with Eric Jankel is a long-form interview podcast exploring the people, technologies, and decisions shaping the future of water. Hosted by Eric Jankel, the Salty Water Podcast features in-depth conversations with global leaders in desalination, water reuse, membrane technology, utilities, engineering, infrastructure development, policy, finance, and sustainability. The show goes beyond headlines to examine how real-world water challenges are actually solved. Water sits at the intersection of public health, climate resilience, energy, infrastructure, and economic growth. Yet many of the most important conversations about water happen behind closed doors, inside engineering firms, utilities, research institutions, and regulatory agencies. The Salty Water Podcast brings those conversations into the open. Each episode explores how major water projects are designed, financed, approved, built, operated, and maintained. Guests include engineers, scientists, utility executives, consultants, researchers, regulators, and project developers with decades of hands-on experience in the global water sector. Discussions focus on lessons learned, tradeoffs, innovation, and the realities facing water systems worldwide. Topics covered on the Salty Water Podcast with Eric Jankel include desalination technology, reverse osmosis and membrane systems, advanced water treatment, potable and non-potable reuse, brine management, infrastructure resilience, climate adaptation, emerging contaminants, energy efficiency, regulation, project delivery, and public trust in water systems. This podcast is not a marketing show and not a technical lecture series. It is a thoughtful, experience-driven conversation designed for professionals who want clarity, context, and practical insight. New episodes of the Salty Water Podcast with Eric Jankel are released every Friday and are available on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.
