Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Achieving Better Visibility With Less Work Through Software As A Service 9/21/2021

    Operating a water treatment and distribution system is difficult enough on its own, but the job gets even more complex for utility managers struggling to harness their metering data. 

  2. Water Quality Is Key To The Success Of Cardiff Bay Restoration 10/12/2011
    Water quality has been a central theme in a redevelopment project that began with the creation of the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation in 1987.
  3. Can An Anti-Microbial Agent Extend The Life Of Filter Media? 12/16/2015

    Harmsco Filtration Products conducted a test to evaluate the performance of the Anti-microbial filter media verses Standard filter media. Two cartridges were compared, both were manufactured with 4 oz filter media, one of the cartridge’s media contained Silver Zeolite fibers which inhibit the growth of biologicals in and on the filter cartridge.

  4. Florida's Largest Public Utility Recovers One Billion Gallons Of Unaccounted-For Water 1/18/2023

    Learn how Sensus Omni Meters, a rigorous testing program, and infrastructure upgrades saved a utility time and money. 

  5. Defending Against Saltwater Intrusion 7/16/2019

    Are “ghost forests” a sign of things to come? Rising sea levels and superstorm tidal surges are already impacting coastal areas, with rising salinity levels affecting some drinking water sources. Coastal water utilities are not the only ones that have to worry about salinity, however, as high concentrations of winter storm road treatments, gas drilling, and mining can also generate elevated salinity levels in surface water sources.

  6. Alternatives To Pump Alternation Schemes Using Advanced Level Controllers 2/28/2023

    This article will focus on the pump control functionality of advanced level controllers and how they can help to optimize your process.

  7. World's Largest 1,4-Dioxane Treatment Initiative 9/9/2024

    Groundwater on Long Island, New York, contains the contaminant 1,4-dioxane. Despite no federal regulation, local water providers and state authorities have taken action to address contamination, establishing a state-enforced maximum contaminant level.

  8. GoAigua's Digital Twin Saves 1B+ Gallons Of Water/Year 12/6/2020

    Water transport and distribution systems in many cities have become complex to manage as they are forced to adjust to the problems of population growth, resource shortages, aging infrastructure and optimization of daily network operations. Consequently, digital twins of water networks are increasingly widely used for decision-making around their operation and management.

  9. An Alternative Mathematical Model For Oxygen Transfer Evaluation In Clean Water 6/20/2014

    Energy consumption from aeration system is a biggest part of the total energy cost in wastewater treatment plant and account for as much as 60% of the energy consumption for the activated sludge process. Therefore, it is very important to know how effective the aeration system and significant attention has been paid to development and upgrade of standard method for quantifying oxygen transfer efficiency of the aeration system.

  10. Cost-Effective Telemetry For Agricultural Applications 7/8/2020

    Implementing telemetry — the ability to transmit flow meter readings — allows water managers in irrigation districts and small rural systems to work smarter, not harder, by aggregating critical, real-time flow information. Until recently, telemetry was expensive and plagued with problems. However, advanced technology offers an ideal solution.
