Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. How Valve Insertion Can Underpin Sustainability 7/2/2021

    To save money and protect the environment, municipal water systems are increasingly under pressure to adopt sustainable practices. However, progress in this area is often hampered by a wide array of issues. As an alternative to traditional valves, the use of valve insertions has emerged as a sustainable maintenance solution.

  2. 900 Series System Ensures Quality, Increases Production, And Reduces Chemical Usage And Overall Costs 1/11/2022

    New Myron L® Company 900 Series system implementation for pH, Conductivity/TDS, and Temperature control ensures quality, increases production, and reduces chemical usage and overall costs in 5-Stage Pre-treatment Process prior to powder coat.

  3. From Challenge & Prize Competition To Test Prototype: The Nitrogen Sensor That Could Change Residential Onsite Wastewater Treatment 1/21/2022

    More than one in five households in the United States depend on septic or onsite systems to treat their wastewater. These systems provide critical water quality infrastructure, but they usually are not designed to remove nitrogen to the point that sufficiently protects coastal marine ecosystems. As a result, septic systems are known to contribute to eutrophication (excess nutrients), hypoxia (low levels of oxygen), and harmful algal blooms in marine and estuarine waters.

  4. Your Backflow Program Is More Vulnerable Than You Think 7/20/2026

    Managing municipal backflow prevention programs requires tracking thousands of assemblies, test notices, and certifications. Replacing manual recordkeeping with automated digital tracking eliminates backlogs, ensuring timely enforcement and protecting public drinking water systems from contamination.

  5. Mountain Resort City Reduces Water Loss By 10 Percent By Deploying Intelligent Leak Detection And Pressure Monitoring Solution 12/1/2020

    Park City turned to Xylem to deploy their intelligent sensor hardware and monitoring solutions as part of a condition assessment program and to reduce non-revenue water.

  6. Seawater Desalination Using RO Membranes To Support A Thriving Agricultural Economy 4/8/2020

    As the agriculture economy boomed, needs for freshwater demanded by irrigation, tourism and the local community also grew in Campo de Dalías, a coastal region on the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the region faced overexploitation of groundwater aquifers. Read the full case study to learn how Toray was selected as the sole membrane supplier for a two-pass system for a newly implemented national desalination plan.

  7. What You Need To Know About The 3 Types Of Iron Filter Media 3/8/2017

    Several treatment processes can be used to remove iron and manganese from ground water for potable water supplies. Iron and manganese are typically found in groundwater in a dissolved state and appear clear. While there are various less common treatment methods used (such as ion exchange and ultra-filtration), most treatment systems for iron and manganese oxidize the ferrous state of iron to a ferric state so the solid particles can then be filtered out.

  8. Geoinfo Services Designs A Low-Carbon Water System To Provide Clean, 24/7 Service To One Of India's Holiest Cities 12/5/2023

    In this case study, read about a network design that reduced energy use while improving health and quality of life for one of India's holiest cities. 

  9. How To Take Charge of Your Water Quality Analysis For Chlorine Disinfection 5/22/2018

    The use of chlorine to treat and disinfect drinking water and wastewater has been in practice for decades, with the earliest recorded attempt dating all the way back to 1893. Since then, it has come a long way.

  10. BEACON® Software as a Service (SaaS) Makes Water Visible At UC Merced 5/11/2015

    In California, water is precious, competition for water is fierce and conservation is critical. In the midst of the state’s worst drought to date, Governor Jerry Brown declared historic statewide mandatory water restrictions calling for a 25 percent reduction in water usage through February 2016.
