Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Ultrasonic vs. Radar In The Water Industry 6/30/2017

    In recent years, the debate about which technology is best suited for level monitoring and open channel monitoring (OCM) applications has taken some traction. There are those who argue that ultrasonic level technology has been uncontested as the standard for level and OCM applications in the water industry. The counter-argument is that radar technology is more effective because it is more robust and accurate than ultrasonic technology. 

  2. Severn Trent Exceeds Leak Reduction Targets With Innovative Itron Water Solutions 5/20/2025

    Severn Trent’s smart metering program, powered by Itron’s technology, is transforming water conservation—reducing leaks by 6 million liters, cutting costs, and empowering customers to use water more wisely.

  3. How To Future-Proof Your Drinking Water Treatment Process 8/21/2024

    Ozone and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) can act as an additional barrier for existing systems to protect against emerging contaminants and water quality events.

  4. Opportunities And Challenges In Decentralized Wastewater Reuse Applications 4/20/2020

    Decentralized wastewater management, when coupled with reuse or recycling of treated sanitary sewage, increases treatment options and creates even greater value than when employed alone.

  5. 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.

  6. Partners Can Help With Funding Requirements To Fix Aging Infrastructure 8/6/2024

    Read more about why prioritizing budgets for addressing aging infrastructure is critical. 

  7. What's Missing From Your Water-Monitoring Strategy? 10/6/2020

    When it comes to water quality monitoring, professionals in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications might have distinctly different concerns about what they measure, but they all share a common concern about the cost and ease of obtaining that data. Fortunately, a new alternative for achieving water quality data and analytics with a high degree of autonomy, accuracy, and affordability is now available to all of them.

  8. EPA Researching The Impacts Of Freshwater Salinization Syndrome 11/29/2022

    Freshwater contains natural salts and minerals. However, dramatic increases in salt concentrations are occurring in freshwaters globally due to human activities including road salt application, water softening, mining and oil production, commercial and industrial processes, weathering of concrete, sea level rise, and fertilizer application.  EPA scientists are studying the effects of increasing salinity on environmental health and water quality.

  9. Water Meter Upgrade Delivers More Than Accurate Readings 9/12/2017

    Municipality benefits from guaranteed savings, reduced costs, and customer service accolades

  10. Advanced Metering Analytics: The Logical Evolution Of AMI 5/30/2018

    Just as different water utilities use different processes for turning raw source water into potable drinking water, so too do they take different routes to account for, and bill for, their output. Here is an overview of a cellular-based approach to collecting and leveraging data from water distribution operations that can achieve the greatest business advantage.
