SCADA and Automation Solutions and Insight For Utility Managers

  1. Understanding Urban Resilience And The Role Of Smart Water Networks 8/20/2024

    As cities grow and face environmental challenges, the concept of urban resilience becomes increasingly important. A recent study discusses the theoretical framework needed to build a smart water network that can enhance the resiliency of urban environments. It also reveals the critical technologies, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), that are key to pulling it all together.

  2. 9 Benefits Of IoT-Based Water-Level Monitoring 11/1/2021

    With the dearth of quality source water a major and worsening issue for utilities and industry, water-level monitoring is paramount for successful operations — as is stepping up to IoT technology.

  3. Sizing Pages For Differing Screens 11/27/2017

    A commonly encountered challenge is to develop pages that can be used on many screens where those screens may vary greatly in size, aspect ratio and resolution.

  4. Scaling Smart Water — How Utilities Can Grow Quickly And Confidently With Digital Technologies 6/26/2025

    Challenges associated with deploying smart water technologies include "Where do I begin?" and "Who do I use?". These questions can often be barriers to small and mid-sized utilities that have limited resources available to them and are already burdened with competing daily priorities.

  5. Customer Success Stories In Water & Wastewater 5/24/2021

    Welcome to the modern HMI/SCADA system—where machines, data, insights, and people are connected. See how GE Digital customers have improved operator response, adhered to regulations, and reduced costs.

  6. How Hyper-Detailed Modeling Is Strengthening Worker Safety And Water Infrastructure Resilience 10/10/2025
    Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.
  7. How Contractors Maximise Productivity And Efficiency 12/14/2021

    In many regions contractors and sub-contractors carry out essential work on behalf of water utilities to safely refurbish, repair, and maintain assets in the field.  This increases the importance of an efficient workflow between all parties to share the status of their water, wastewater, and other assets (such as pipes, pumps, valves and drainage structures) with maintenance crews, consultants, and contractors so that everyone can access the same up-to-date information. 

  8. 4 Trends For Water Infrastructure Longevity And Conservation In 2016 10/22/2015

    Looking back on 2015, severe droughts, flat budgets, and insights on decreased reading system life have affected the way utility managers make decisions about water metering systems. As utilities plan for 2016, managers should consider four key water metering technology trends predicted to help utilities meet their water management initiatives in 2016 and beyond

  9. How Microgrids Can Reduce The Energy Pressures On Water Infrastructure 6/18/2024
    With the ability to isolate from the primary grid, maximize the full potential of onsite distributed energy resources (DERs), and intelligently manage onsite energy loads, microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to help water departments modernize operations for the energy demands of today and tomorrow.
  10. What Is A Pipe? 11/1/2020

    Easy question? Not really. Like many answers “It depends”. I would like to answer in the context of; 1) failure analytics, 2) asset management principles, and 3) hydraulic modeling.
