  1. How Can We Start The Journey To Smart Water Networks? 2/20/2019

    In the developed world, potable water is delivered to people via a complex infrastructure consisting of water catchment, water treatment, water storage (reservoirs, towers), and water distribution (pipes). The first two elements are well understood; what is less understood is what happens to water as it journeys to the tap.

  2. Global Experts Offer 2019 Smart Water Insights 2/13/2019

    What are some of the biggest global challenges, trends, and opportunities for the smart water sector in 2019? To answer these questions, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) interviewed four industry experts from Australia, North America, the UK, and India.

  3. Rapid Microbial Assessment Following A Case Of Legionellosis 12/3/2018

    A case of legionellosis — an illness acquired from Legionella bacteria, which can grow in cooling water and potable water systems — was diagnosed at a medical retirement home.

  4. Troubleshooting A Sudden Fecal Coliform Non-Compliance Event 11/26/2018

    A municipal wastewater treatment plant investigated a sudden increase in fecal coliform exceedance events.

  5. Precise Level And Interface Measurement In Wastewater Tanks 11/8/2018

    Guided wave radar technology provides accurate and reliable level and interface measurement in effluent treatment areas, ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing costs in wastewater applications.

  6. What Can 2nd Generation ATP Do For An Operator Or Field Technician? 11/1/2018

    It’s important to start with the fact that this is not a regulatory test. This technology won’t replace any required compliance tests and the results are not reportable, which is actually a great benefit to our users. While regulatory testing is important, compliant does not necessarily mean clean.

  7. Analytical Software Predicts Sewer System Blockages 10/10/2018

    Using historical data and Seeq analytical software, Nukon calculates when sewer blockages will occur up to 13 hours before occurrence, preventing spills.

  8. How To Mitigate Biofouling In Your Industrial Process Using 2nd Generation ATP 10/9/2018

    Microorganisms can wreak havoc in industrial processes in a number of ways – from slime formation that causes paper breaks and excessive downtime in papermaking facilities, to costly recalls of spoiled final product. Consequently, an effective microbiological control program, which includes accurate and reliable monitoring, is critical for maintaining an efficient process and final product quality.

  9. Sending Your Wet Weather Problem Back To The Cloud(s) 9/17/2018

    Most of us don’t have to think about the vital infrastructure that supports our society.  Water is delivered to our homes and businesses 24/7, and wastewater is efficiently and cleanly whisked away.  The ability of our utilities to manage these services means we only take notice at times of inconvenience: water outages, sewer blockages, or stormwater overflows. 

  10. How Big Is Big Data Among Water Utilities? 9/4/2018

    A survey of water utilities conducted by Black & Veatch reveals to what degree and how rapidly (or not) data analytics are being implemented in the real world.
