Henry County Water Authority Ensures Water Distribution Keeps Up With Increasing Demand From A Growing Population

To address the growing population and projected water demand over the next 30 Years, the Henry County Water Authority recently completed a master plan update that includes two booster pump stations — the Fairview booster pump station and the Southeastern booster pump station.

Leak Detection On Water Distribution Network Using Clamp-On Flowmeters

A global engineering company realized that their leak identification methods were time-consuming and expensive, and so began to explore alternative solutions, such as ultrasonic flow meters. 

Mastering Condensate Management

This series explores crucial questions surrounding condensate management. In the first part, we examine where condensate comes from and what it contains.

Naples Aviation Authority ARFF Transition

In a groundbreaking effort to help airports transition from harmful PFAS-laden firefighting foams, the Naples Airport Authority enlisted ECT2 to manage the cleanup of PFAS-contaminated vehicles.

Using AI To Reduce Water Loss And Enhance Pipe Reliability

AI models give utility managers actionable insights into the health of their pipe networks, enabling a shift from reactive to predictive maintenance.

The Role Of AI In One Water: Transforming Non-Revenue Water Management With LeakZon

One of the greatest challenges in achieving a holistic water management philosophy is Non-Revenue Water (NRW) — water that is lost before reaching consumers due to leaks, theft, or inaccurate metering.

Early Leak Detection Program: Improving Water Systems For Future Generations

Read about a trial for the City of Gold Coast designed to find a system that could sharpen leak detection capability with a small margin of error. 

Innovations In Clarifiers Increase Capacity While Improving Water Quality

Texler clarifiers are designed to settle out more turbidity and other substances in order to fully optimize treatment processes, while at the same time reducing costs and increasing capacity.

The Risks Of Rushing A PFAS Solution (And How To Avoid Them)

Renting a temporary PFAS treatment package gives water treatment plants time to evaluate longer-term options while still meeting the current regulations.

Monitoring IWW Effluents With FP 360 sc Oil-In-Water Sensor

This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in oil-in-water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab-sample analysis method.

Demystifying Data as a Service (DaaS)

Like other “as a service” offerings, the idea of data as a service (DaaS) is to take the burden of ownership off the customer. But for many water industry professionals, it can be confusing how that works and where the value lies. To get a better understanding, it helps to break down exactly what this service tends to entail and what problems it aims to solve.

Water Is The Other U.S.-Mexico Border Crisis, And The Supply Crunch Is Getting Worse
