    Recent improvements in remote monitoring and management technologies, particularly in the wastewater treatment sector, have revolutionized operational efficiency. Key technologies include IoT sensors, AI analytics, and cloud computing. This article explores their applications and benefits in enhancing wastewater treatment processes.
73. Rethinking Dam Infrastructure: Lessons From Minnesota Floods 8/27/2024
    If there's one lesson to be learned from Minnesota's recent floods, it's that it's time for the nation to begin rethinking its approach to critical infrastructure. In addition to physical improvements to high-risk infrastructure, technological improvements that dramatically improve communities' security and safety will require a shift in our approach to emergency preparedness.
74. Fortify Your Stormwater Systems For Hurricanes And Heavy Rain 8/21/2024

    With many areas experiencing stronger and longer-lasting storms that bring significant rainfall, water infrastructure professionals must anticipate stormwater inundation events. How do hurricanes impact water systems, and what should people proactively do to mitigate the adverse effects?

75. Control Valve Selection: Criteria And Key Considerations For Utilizing Online Sizing And Selection Tools 8/15/2024
    Choosing the right process control valve is essential for ensuring operational efficiency and reliability and avoiding expensive downtime. The advent of online sizing and selection tools has transformed the process of selecting valves, providing a more efficient and accurate way to determine the best valve for each specific application.
76. Community RISES To Occasion For Coastal Restoration Project 8/7/2024

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District is collaborating with RISE (Rockaway Initiative for Sustainability and Equity) and other partners to make Rockaway Beach more resilient to coastal storm erosion and flooding that has increased due to more frequent and stronger coastal storms.

77. Rethinking Preparedness: Flooding Can Happen Anywhere 7/29/2024

    Severe flooding is shaking communities across the globe, and governments everywhere — regardless of their historical risk factors — need to use more advanced technology systems in order to keep citizens safe.

78. New Nashville Equalization Facility Helps Manage Wastewater Flows 7/18/2024
    Workers in Nashville recently completed an $18.9 million project to supplement an existing pump station to help manage excessive flows in the existing sewer system. The new equalization storage tank is the centerpiece to the facility, and those tanks play an important role in wastewater management.
79. Improving The Resilience Of A UV System For Wastewater Disinfection 7/18/2024
    One important consequence of climate change for wastewater treatment plants is that they now need to cope with sudden increases in the effluent volume with the receiving waterbodies equally carrying more water and being in flood conditions. This is especially true for the final treatment step — disinfection prior to discharge.
80. Harnessing Rainwater: A Sustainable Solution For Water Security 7/15/2024

    The global rainwater harvesting market, valued at US$839.7 million in 2022, is projected to exhibit a robust CAGR of 6.3%, reaching US$1.5 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by escalating water scarcity concerns exacerbated by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts.
