Latest Insights on Wastewater Measurement

  1. WWEMA Window: The Importance Of Early Design System Integration 3/16/2023

    The water/wastewater industry is about to be hit, and in some cases already has been hit, with funding for projects through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Monies are starting to flow from the federal government into State Revolving Funds, or SRFs, to assist municipalities with upgrading an aging infrastructure.

  2. WWEMA Window: Fully Automated Chemical Optimization For Drinking Water Treatment Gains Momentum 3/1/2023

    Drinking water treatment systems utilize chemical coagulants to assist in mitigating turbidity from surface source waters. In most cases, coagulant consumption is the largest operating cost within a facility. Over the past few years, coagulant prices have increased significantly, putting pressure on utilities to look for ways to reduce chemical consumption. Coagulants rely on certain conditions to perform, namely particle charge, pH, water temperature, turbidity, and organic level. However, the technology to optimize chemical performance is lacking in this industry.

  3. Superpowers For Water Systems 2/17/2023

    Discover how your digital twin can give your team members who operate your water distribution systems powers they don’t have today.

  4. SWAN Corner: Reimagining Smart Water — Reflecting On 10 Years 2/8/2023

    This coming March will be my 10th year at SWAN — the Smart Water Networks Forum. Crazy how time flies. I remember excitedly attending my first conference at WATEC Israel in 2015 as a Research Analyst. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I have always been a “water lover,” inspired by protecting wild, endangered salmon. So, what have I learned in 10 years?

  5. Going Digital: Celebrating Achievement In Water And Wastewater Infrastructure Development 12/1/2022

    Following two years of hosting remotely, Bentley Systems returned to a live setting for its annual Year in Infrastructure and Going Digital Awards event, held November 14-15 in London, England. Bentley welcomed 114 press members from 23 countries to celebrate some of the most impressive infrastructure projects of the past year, including those from the water/wastewater sector.

  6. Who Sees What You Flush? Wastewater Surveillance For Public Health Is On The Rise, But A New Survey Reveals Many U.S. Adults Are Still Unaware 11/3/2022

    Flush and forget? Not if you have a toilet that flushes to one of over 3,000 sites around the world where researchers are using wastewater to track SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. But what do members of the public actually know about wastewater surveillance? And what do they think about researchers tracking what they send down the drain at their home?

  7. Delivering Digital Water — Are We There Yet? 11/3/2022
    The water industry's greatest technology trend is also one with scattershot levels of adoption, but that can change with proper understanding of the purpose for and pathway toward Digital Water.
  8. Precision Vs. Recall For Predicting Service Line Materials 10/31/2022

    Consider what makes a "good" prediction and the choice to be made between the prioritization of precision and recall. 

  9. Regulators Love Artificial Intelligence 10/24/2022

    Explore how creating an open dialogue with regulators during the conceptual design of a project significantly reduces the risk of incurring a major project delay during later project phases.

  10. Mapping Water Sources And Users At The Catchment Level To Democratize Data And Inform Decisions 9/21/2022
