  • Paradise Regained: How Digital Twins Saved A Bahamian Resort's Water Supply

    Island utilities face unique resource constraints and infrastructure risks. Implementing digital twins provides the real-time visibility needed to reduce water loss, simulate emergency scenarios, and optimize system performance to ensure long-term operational resilience.

  • Smarter Pipeline Condition Assessment Starts With The Right Technology

    Advanced pipeline assessment technologies help utilities detect defects, locate leaks, and prioritize repairs—enabling smarter capital planning, reduced failures, and more resilient water infrastructure management.

  • Hidden Risks Beneath The Surface: Why Transmission Main Leak Monitoring Matters

    Water utilities can significantly reduce revenue loss by integrating acoustic leak detection, pipe condition assessments, and automated pressure management. This proactive approach identifies hidden infrastructure weaknesses, prevents catastrophic bursts, and optimizes operational efficiency for long-term sustainability.

  • Water Utilities Need Better AI

    Open intelligence breaks down data silos, allowing water utilities to integrate disparate systems into a transparent, unified framework. This approach combines human expertise with verifiable AI to improve network resilience and operational decision-making.

  • Introducing Qatium AI Build Studio

    Operational teams can now build custom apps and workflows in plain language, bypassing traditional development delays. Integrating real-time data with hydraulic intelligence enables faster, data-driven decisions to optimize network performance and improve overall system resilience.

  • 4 Essential Truths About Carbon Reactivation

    Long-standing myths about GAC reactivation are being increasingly challenged, revealing performance, cost, and sustainability benefits many utilities may have overlooked.

You treat it, you send it, but you don’t get paid for it. Non-revenue water (NRW), or water lost to leaks, inaccuracies, or other losses, is a persistent problem for utilities everywhere. In the U.S. alone, drinking water utilities lose an average of approximately 20,000 gallons per customer every year, according to the American Water Works Association. AWWA also estimates, more optimistically, that up to 75% of reported water loss in U.S. systems is recoverable when NRW is properly measured and managed. So let's get to work!

In this segment of The Water Online Show, hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling sit down with Karine Rougé and Rob Powelson to unpack a growing shift in the U.S. water sector: treating water infrastructure as an economic imperative, not just a utility function.

As wastewater utilities face stricter regulations, aging infrastructure, rising energy costs, and increased wet weather events, innovation has never been more critical. This track explores next-generation technologies that are redefining wastewater treatment performance, pumping efficiency, system reliability, and real-time monitoring.

Ensuring effective disinfection is the cornerstone of safe drinking water, but selecting the right chlorine monitoring technology often involves a complex trade-off between accuracy and maintenance.
