1. Modernizing U.S. Water Utilities: A Data-Driven Imperative 4/15/2025
   The U.S. water utility sector stands at a critical juncture, facing a confluence of challenges that demand innovative and strategic responses. Aging infrastructure, escalating operational costs, and the persistence of data silos are placing immense pressure on these essential service providers. To navigate this complex landscape and ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable water services, a fundamental shift towards proactive, data-driven approaches is not just beneficial but essential.
2. 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. 

3. Instrumentation And Digital Transformation 12/3/2020

   Whether you call it Digital Transformation, Water 4.0, or Smart Water, the water industry as a whole is changing drastically in the way that it operates. If you ask a dozen people what these buzzwords mean, you will naturally get a dozen answers. It is because the Digital Transformation of the water industry is different for different people and for different operational and management aspects of what is done to produce water, distribute it to customers, collect it, treat it, and put it back to the environment.

4. ABB Technology Further Strengthens Singapore's Water Security 10/1/2021

   Singapore is using desalination as part of the solution to their water supply issue in order to provide enough clean drinking water for its ever-growing population of 5.5 million.

5. Impact Of Real-Time NH3-N Monitoring In Wastewater Treatment Plants 6/24/2025

   In this white paper, learn how real-time monitoring of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen (N) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a game-changer for optimizing treatment performance and energy efficiency.

6. JICA Assisted Guwahati Water Supply Project 9/24/2021

   The water system for Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern region of India, was originally built to harness the Brahmaputra River with a gravity-based distribution system. Unregulated development led to water supply problems, as well as high water pressure in 60% of the system. To improve water distribution and the quality of life for residents, NJS Engineers India was tasked with constructing or upgrading water infrastructure throughout the city, including 36 kilometers of transmission mains, 1,155 kilometers of distribution pipes, 1.42 million service connections, a treatment plant, pumping stations, and other infrastructure. Due to the size of the project, NJS needed to combine design, construction management, and hydraulic models into a single platform.

7. Make Your SCADA Feel Young Again 2/3/2014

   When the Village of Romeoville underwent a major upgrade to their SCADA system, they also decided to move to the latest version of the monitoring & control software that they had used successfully for many years. This version included features designed specifically for the water/wastewater industry. In this article, a former Head of the Water Department (*) explains why the utility continues to push for the latest HMI version and how this helps them overcome many of the issues related to maintaining a long-running SCADA system.

8. Integrated Level Solutions For The Future 8/6/2018

   Smarter measurement supports safer, more efficient and more sustainable operations, improving uptime and extending servicelife, whatever the industry sector.

9. The Future Of Water Management 3/16/2017

   To minimize losses and address mounting concerns, the water industry is now adopting advanced sensor and communications solutions designed specifically for “smart” Internet of Things (IoT) water management. In large part, the move toward implementing smart water solutions is being driven by stricter government compliance requirements, the evolution of smart cities, and the need for water conservation.

10. Factors To Consider For Condition Assessment Of Water And Sewer Systems 12/1/2021

    Back in the day, we pretty much had nothing but good ol' CCTV as our primary method of inspecting sewer pipes giving us data to assess their condition; IF the pipe didn't fog up for good video and/or the VHS tape got eaten in the player. Water pipes?
