1. Securing A Clean And Safe Water Supply 5/3/2021

   Cyberattacks targeting U.S. water utilities are no longer hypothetical scenarios, so it is past time to increase public protection by hardening cyber infrastructure.

2. Digitalization In The Water Industry: Look How Far We've Come 8/2/2022
   Every once in a while, I hear someone saying that digitalization, or going digital, is the next big thing in the water industry. Don't look now, but digitalization is here; and it has been for a few decades.
3. Smart Antenna Technology For AMI 11/9/2020

   When several years of drought subsided and water restrictions were lifted this spring for the city of Round Rock, Texas, residents quickly returned to their pre-drought usage patterns—and as they watered their lawns, filled their pools and used water the way they had before the drought, their monthly bills began to rise. The utility billing office started getting calls from a number of the 33,000 homes and businesses throughout Round Rock.

4. How Dekalb County Efficiently And Accurately Models Rain-Derived Inflow And Infiltration 12/17/2021

   Taking into account the effects of stormwater runoff and water meter flow, Dekalb Watershed Management partnered with Jacobs Engineering to calibrate the wet weather flows in Dekalb County’s collection system model.

5. A Practical Framework To Improve The Management Of Cyanide In Industrial Wastewaters 11/10/2017

   Understanding your detection needs when it comes to free cyanide can help you choose the most suitable detection method.

6. Data Center Water Sustainability And Stewardship 10/27/2021

   The data center industry is uniquely positioned to develop innovative solutions that drive collective action for meaningful water stewardship.

7. Strategies For Enhancing pH Control Systems In Wastewater Treatment 9/23/2024
   Managing pH in wastewater treatment is a crucial undertaking for water utilities. Solid contaminants often receive more attention, as they're more obvious threats, but sub-optimal pH levels can be dangerous, too.
8. Troubleshooting Nitrification And Denitrification In Wastewater 2/18/2014

   The proper tools are essential to fixing any problem. Over the years, Ohio EPA’s Compliance Assistance Unit (CAU) has helped dozens of water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) get back into and maintain compliance with NPDES discharge permits. Their field toolkit has included an assortment of batch sampling kits and handheld instruments. Each tool had its place but each also had limitations and, as a result, the compliance puzzle often was missing important pieces. Increasingly, as nutrient limits were incorporated into discharge permits, the missing piece was characterizing the dynamics of nitrification and denitrification. By Patrick Higgins

9. Innovating Wastewater Treatment: Harnessing AI For Energy Efficiency And Enhanced Performance 6/7/2024

   Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by energy-intensive aeration processes and the consequent escalation of operational costs in wastewater treatment.

10. 6 Steps To Improving Energy Efficiency In Water And Wastewater Operations 5/7/2024
    Water and wastewater utilities account for nearly 4% of the world's energy consumption. With emissions targets looming and pressures building around water tariffs that frequently fall short of covering costs, there's an urgent need to reduce energy usage. This means tackling inefficient processes, such as mechanical flow control and the use of oversized equipment.
