DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Winter Is Coming. Are Your Water Tanks Ready?

  When winter is coming, water utilities gear up to battle the cold and its impact on their distribution systems. What happens to water tanks during the winter and how can you protect your tanks?

• AMA Managed Solution And District Metering Strategy Help Identify Major Leaks For Highway 71

  A rural water district located between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains in Alma, Arkansas, Highway 71 Water District No. 1, services approximately 2,500 water customers scattered across 175 miles of distribution lines throughout the countryside. 

• Aclara RF Network System Stands Up To Hurricane Sandy

  When Hurricane Sandy struck in October of 2012, Aclara's RF network technology, which was installed across New York City's five boroughs, was under pressure to perform effectively. 

• Ultrasonic And Radar Level Technologies: Bringing Clarity To The Water And Wastewater Market

  If your head spins after reading how amazing one level measurement technology is in comparison to another, understanding the key attributes of these technologies and their applicability to specific processes may help to clear the waters.

• Automating Time-Consuming Water Quality Tests

  Discover established and regulated methods to individually determine and mitigate copper, iron, silica, manganese, aluminum, calcium, and other analytes of interest in water.

• EPA Scientists Test Non-Targeted Analysis Methods Using Drinking Water Filters

  Today, researchers can rapidly search for thousands of never-before studied chemical compounds in a wide variety of environmental, residential, and biological media. This approach is called “non-targeted analysis” (NTA). It differs from targeted analysis because researchers do not have to know what specific chemical they are looking for in a sample. They can use high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to rapidly identify many of the chemicals present in a sample. The HRMS measures the accurate mass of molecules and can find chemicals that would have gone unnoticed before. This approach is beneficial not just to researchers, but to States, tribes, and local communities who might want to know more about chemical exposure.

• Water You Waiting For? Analyze Multiple Water Samples Simultaneously With A New Field Device

  Whether it’s checking the health of a stream or a drinking water supply, water testing is performed in a variety of industrial, consumer, and applied research settings to measure water quality and chemistry. Understanding the quality of water (its features such as pH, salinity, or dissolved oxygen) and its chemistry (the presence of compounds like chlorine, ammonia, or nitrogen) is often accomplished with specialized, laboratory-based equipment and systems or field sampling methods.

• Battling Biofilm

  Biofilms are extremely complex ecosystems that provide excellent protection for the microorganisms within. This often makes them difficult to kill, even with chlorine. Basic understanding of biofilm ecosystems and their behavior to chlorine and other oxidizing biocides can offer valuable insight into achieving better microbial control. 

• Protecting Communities With Calgon Carbon's AquaKnight™ Technology

  Calgon Carbon’s AquaKnight GC systems are designed from the top down to improve flow, adsorption, and media life.

• CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study

  When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.
