Drinking Water Measurement Resources

  1. Illinois Water Treatment Plant Found Plenty Of Reasons To Switch Actuators 10/19/2026

    Lowest-bid actuators can turn a new filtration plant into a maintenance burden. One Illinois facility's repeated failures show why purchase price is only one part of critical valve equipment cost.

  2. Finding Leaks On Large Water Mains In Singapore Using Advanced Algorithms 10/19/2026

    Physics-driven algorithms and refined data processing are changing how acoustic monitoring finds leaks on large transmission mains, and standardized performance metrics are changing how utilities judge whether those systems work.

  3. How Does Eclipse Pro™ Achieve Constant Flow Rates? 10/13/2026

    Rotary gear pump design holds flow steady as pressure shifts, pairing integrated digital monitoring with predictive diagnostics and service intervals measured in years rather than months for chemical dosing.

  4. Why The Water Sector's AI Ambitions Depend On Better Connectivity 6/4/2026
    For AI to deliver real operational value, it needs a constant flow of reliable operational data. AI systems are relentlessly data-hungry, and the more data, the better. Yet, accessing this data remains a major challenge in the utilities sector, with remote reservoirs, wastewater treatment works, and sprawling infrastructure often located a long way from traditional cellular networks.
  5. Do Water Meters Still Need External Transmitters? 5/1/2026
    Expectations for transparency and reliability in water-metering infrastructure have risen. As a result, a fundamental question is emerging across the industry: if modern ultrasonic meters are already smart, why are we still adding intelligence outside the meter?
  6. Case Study: Groundwater DWTP (AK) - DEXSORB Full-Scale 3/29/2026

    A DWTP client in Alaska detected elevated PFAS contamination levels in two groundwater wells supplying drinking water to 85 service connections. PFAS concentrations are provided in Table 1, where combined concentration of EPA PFAS6 was detected at 490 to 810 ppt.

  7. Using Historical Performance To Optimize Your Coagulation Control 3/9/2026

    Non-intrusive ultrasonic technology provides precise, bi-directional flow measurement without process downtime. By clamping onto the pipe exterior, these systems eliminate maintenance and pressure loss, offering a reliable, data-rich solution for complex water and wastewater monitoring environments.

  8. Why Haven't Field Tests For Lead In Water Gone Mainstream? 1/15/2026
    Given the maturation of sensor technology, the scientific and operational hurdles to portable lead analysis are somewhat surprising — but surmountable.
  9. Understanding The Limit Of Detection 1/7/2026

    Accurate low-level turbidity monitoring requires a deep understanding of detection limits and the variables affecting measurement sensitivity. Learn how refined laboratory techniques and standardized spiking protocols ensure precision in demanding water treatment applications.

  10. Legionella And The Need For Next-Generation Detection: Steps Water Utilities Can Take To Alleviate The Risk 12/8/2025
    As water systems grow more complex and climate patterns shift, Legionella is emerging as one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in the built environment. The threat to public health from Legionnaires' disease will likely further escalate unless decisive action is taken.
