31. To AMI Or Not To AMI? Lessons Learned From Deployment, And Steps To Success 7/15/2020

    One of Europe’s leading water utilities shares five critical steps for successful deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

32. The High Stakes Of Smart Water: $1 Trillion And 1.8 Billion People 4/21/2015

    Making the business case for smart water networks and advanced metering infrastructure

33. BEACON SaaS Increases Efficiency And Reduces Water And Energy Consumption 8/1/2017

    Located in the San Joaquin Valley of Northern California, an area hit hard by recent droughts, the City of Merced’s Water System Division appreciates the value of water and successful water management. Strict water mandates, put into effect across California after the historic droughts of 2014 and 2015, along with continuing population growth, made the city’s need for flexible and efficient water management solutions more critical than ever.

34. How To Evaluate The Metrological Quality Of A Water Meter 9/6/2024
    By calculating a meter's accuracy, water providers can save money over the life of the product — and purchase the right product in the first place.
35. Understand RF Propagation Of AMR/AMI Systems 9/19/2013

    Most Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems installed in utilities use radio frequency (RF) communication. RF communication is also used for two-way radios, wireless supervisory control, data acquisition (SCADA) systems, office wireless networks, routers and cell phones.

    Jericho Water District (JWD) is one of the largest water districts in New York, serving 58,000 people through 18,604 residential and commercial service connections on Long Island.

39. The 4 Biggest Myths About Smart Meters 3/18/2014

    Smart meters are no doubt the way of the future. The efficiencies they bring to water distribution make widespread implementation all but inevitable. However, as with any advanced technology (especially in the water industry), there are bound to be starts and stops along the way.

40. A Sound Approach To Evaluating NRW Loss And Aging Pipelines 5/18/2018

    As water distribution infrastructure ages, the potential for leaks grows and the need for condition-driven asset management increases proportionally. As with so many other aspects of water operations, planning ahead is key. Good system diagnosis using noninvasive procedures provides an accurate and cost-effective assessment of distribution system integrity, just as noninvasive monitoring of heartbeat, pulse, and blood pressure plays an important role in human health.
