• SWAN Corner: Scaling Smart Water — How Utilities Can Grow Quickly And Confidently With Digital Technologies

  Challenges associated with deploying smart water technologies include “Where do I begin?” and “Who do I use?”. These questions can often be barriers to small and mid-sized utilities that have limited resources available to them and are already burdened with competing daily priorities.

• SWAN Corner: Scaling 3D Data Quality Alongside Green Recovery

  Designed to accelerate post-pandemic resilience, boost environmental benefits, and improve customer service en masse, Severn Trent Water launched an infrastructure initiative in 2021: a £566 million Green Recovery program. The time was ripe for the UK's first "smart water data region". MGISS supported the project and its spatial data requirements, ensuring precision and long-term resilience.
• Design Smarter, Operate Cheaper: The New Lifecycle Mindset For Pump And Lift Stations

  Part 5 of the Get Pumped Up series brings it all together with a bold but practical shift: treating pump and lift station design as a living process, not a one-time deliverable.

• The Pump Curve Doesn't Lie: What SCADA Data Reveals About Real-World Performance

  In Part 4 of the Get Pumped Up series, the focus shifts from planning to performance—with a clear message: pump inefficiencies aren’t always due to failure, but to how (and where) pumps are operating.

• How To Right-Size Your Lift Station Without The 6-Month Wait

  In Part 3 of the Get Pumped Up series, the spotlight is on speed: how utilities can identify and solve lift station inefficiencies without waiting six months for a redesign study.

• Building Back Better?

  Every four years, America gets a fresh reminder of where we stand as a nation, for better or worse. What have we reaped this time around?

• Why IoT Is Crucial For Modern Water Treatment Automation

  Professionals interested in smart water treatment often explore how Internet of Things (IoT) sensors can get them closer to their goals. These devices track data in real time, revealing how leaders should optimize their processes. What are some potential benefits associated with applying IoT technologies?
• What Are The Latest Innovations In Corrosion Prevention For Water Infrastructure?

  Corrosion prevention is a pressing concern for wastewater professionals in the U.S. and elsewhere. Corroded infrastructure can fail prematurely and cause other costly complications that disrupt operations and negatively impact providers' reputations. What progress has occurred in tackling the problem and giving decision-makers new solutions to consider?
• Modernizing U.S. Water Utilities: A Data-Driven Imperative

  The U.S. water utility sector stands at a critical juncture, facing a confluence of challenges that demand innovative and strategic responses. Aging infrastructure, escalating operational costs, and the persistence of data silos are placing immense pressure on these essential service providers. To navigate this complex landscape and ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable water services, a fundamental shift towards proactive, data-driven approaches is not just beneficial but essential.
• Challenges In Repairing Leaking Pipes In Aging Urban Water Systems

  Worldwide, nations are tackling critical infrastructure. Many of these systems are reaching the end of their lifecycles, leading to pollution, water waste, and inefficiencies. Water and wastewater employees carry a monumental burden in retrofitting and upgrading these mechanisms at such immense scales. Fortunately, solutions are available to expedite the work and better citizens' lives.
