Targeted Call For Innovative Intelligent Water Systems Technologies

The Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WE&RF) is currently seeking cutting-edge intelligent water systems to improve management in the municipal or industrial wastewater, stormwater, and water reuse sectors. Proposers must highlight key aspects of their product or process for review by a panel of experts through a Leaders Innovation Forum for Technology (LIFT) Technology Scan. All accepted technologies will be given an opportunity to present their technology to utilities, consultants, and other WE&RF subscribers, as well as be included in the LIFT Link online technology innovation and collaboration platform. Subsequent opportunities may develop around validation, piloting, or research. Selected proposers may also be invited to join LIFT representatives at upcoming industry events and workshops on this topic.

Submittals must pertain to municipal and industrial wastewater, stormwater, or water reuse management. Special consideration will be given to pioneering ideas that can show a marked improvement in management and performance (maximizing infrastructure life, minimizing service disruptions, predictive modelling, optimizing investment, reducing costs, compliance, etc.).

Areas of Interest:

• Big data
• Predictive analytics
• Computing at source (Edge computing, smart sensors)
• Internet of everything
• Data visualization
• Real-time monitoring
• Leading practice
• Whole of network approaches
• Compliance management
