Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. How Attacking Non-Revenue Water Boosts Revenue While Reinforcing Sustainability 9/7/2020

    A growing water scarcity problem and increasing water loss regulations are putting more pressure than ever on municipal water utilities to be good stewards of water resources. The problem is that the main factor impeding sustainability — non-revenue water, or NRW — is often approached haphazardly at best. For utilities lacking a comprehensive NRW strategy, it is not too late to get on the right track.

  2. Removing Iron, Arsenic, And Manganese To Meet California Regulations 10/9/2018

    A pilot study was conducted in Sacramento to provide manufacturers an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic to levels.

  3. Case Study: Optimized Quality Control In Mineral Water Plants 4/16/2009

    Due to microbiological activity in the process, or to a lesser extent due to the reduction in nitrate levels in the raw water, nitrogen compounds may give rise to increased nitrite concentrations. By Endress + Hauser, Inc.

  4. EPA Researchers Develop Tool To Assess Onsite Non-Potable Water Reuse For Buildings Across The U.S. 6/2/2021

    Increasing pressure on water resources has led to greater water scarcity and a growing demand for enough clean water. Many communities across the country have initiated, or are in the process of developing, centralized systems for planned water reuse. Water reuse is the concept of intentionally recycling, treating, and reusing alternative water sources. Federal government agencies and the water user community are coordinating their efforts to advance the adoption of water reuse and ensure the security, sustainability, and resilience of water resources. The National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) describes these collaborative actions.

  5. Chlorine vs. Chloramine: A Tale Of Two Chemistries 4/17/2018

    Here are some insights that can help water treatment plant (WTP) operators deal with their internal concerns about DBPs and residual chlorine or ammonia levels, as well as their external concerns about customer perceptions of water quality.

  6. How The North Burleigh Water Treatment Plant Improved Water Quality With Innovative Technology 3/11/2026

    See how Bismarck’s North Burleigh Water Treatment Plant boosted production 64%, reduced operating costs 20%, and improved treatment reliability using an advanced ozone system upgrade.

  7. Has The Ideal Biocarrier Finally Been Developed? 6/1/2017

    In order to improve the efficiency of biofilm technologies, a high-performance biocarrier has been developed, based on requests for ideal carrier characteristics.

  8. Big Data Problem Solved With Magnetic Flow Meter Technology 10/25/2018

    SUEZ operates regulated water systems in eight states, and provides contract services to over five million people. SUEZ operates several water systems in the suburbs of New York City including SUEZ New Rochelle and SUEZ Westchester in Westchester County, New York.

  9. A Pandemic Of Another Kind: Addressing The Issues Of Clean Water Scarcity 12/6/2021

    As the coronavirus pandemic in some form continues to move across the world, health professionals are continually reminding us to exercise good hygiene and keep our hands clean. Easy enough, if you have access to a clean source of water. However, according to the USA Water Alliance, there are more than three million people presently that are without a dependable source of safe drinking water in the US. Around the world, this is also a bigger issue, as many people lack access to a source of safe drinking water to maintain their hygiene. Ongoing developments to ensure global water security, as well as provisions for wastewater sanitation services to avoid polluting water sources have been slowly adopted. Droughts and water scarcity have become issues that we are dealing with in the US and around the world.

  10. Safety, Savings, Synergy: The Aquana-Itron Partnership Reshaping Utilities 5/24/2024

    In the ever-evolving realm of smart water solutions, Aquana's AquaFlex™  Actuator Valve (AVS) emerges as a transformative force, promising heightened operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for water utilities. This American-designed and manufactured remote water shutoff valve, seamlessly integrated into Itron’s AMI network, is poised to reshape the landscape of utility operations.
