91. AI Could Solve America's Infrastructure Problem. Institutions Need To Let Engineers Use It. 8/25/2025
    The state of America’s crumbling infrastructure continues to be a perennial concern as the scale of the problem continually outpaces both the funding and the human resources needed to solve it. Engineers have the solution — AI systems that offer unprecedented speed and potential cost savings — but to leverage its full potential, engineers need to take on a new role — and potentially a new business model.
92. Albuquerque Water Utility Eases The Pressure On System Performance With Xylem Technology 1/10/2023

    Explore how the Sensus Pressure Profile Software Application saved time and resources for an Albuquerque Water Utility. 

93. FMCW Or ToF? Which Radar Level Technology Is Best For Tank Gauging In Custody Transfer Applications? 4/9/2018

    Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

94. Calibrating Success: Improved Tools To Maintain Flowmeter Accuracy 7/10/2019

    Water utilities with highly successful monitoring programs tend to share a common trait: they have a well-defined plan for calibration that emphasizes frequency and tracking. However, when done properly, this process is time-consuming and often leads to unnecessary labor and downtime. The good news is that advanced metering technology is available for plants to get a better handle on the instrument’s performance with significantly less effort.

95. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Brings More Reliable Water Operations Clearly Into Focus 9/26/2016

    Learn about the advantages and implementation of AMI from experts who are making “smarter water” a reality.

96. Pride And Prejudice: A Philadelphia (Water Department) Story 7/12/2018

    Recently, I had the opportunity to tour a unique and innovative facility, the Bureau of Lab Services (BLS), the “water quality heartbeat of the Philadelphia Water Department” (PWD), as described by BLS director Gary Burlingame.

97. Leveraging Existing Risk Data And Multi-Objective Optimization, Las Vegas Valley Water District Identifies More Effective Spending On Pipe R&R

    LVVWD uses Optimatics software to manage assets and intelligently plan their pipe replacement and renewal programs by optimizing capital cost, business risk exposure, and hydraulic performance. Like many utilities, LVVWD faces a number of different challenges when considering asset renewal and replacement strategies.

98. The Drive Towards Digital Transformation 11/25/2019

    It seems that everywhere that you go in the water industry at the current time, somebody is talking about digital transformation…or if we go back five minutes, it was Water 4.0…and 10 minutes ago (it seems), it was “smart water.” These are all very well used buzzwords that the industry is destined to think about for a short-term and then promptly forget about. In reality, though, we as an industry have been hit by a number of different concepts for a number of different technological aspects for a good number of years now. For almost as long we have had a term for all of this — “widgets.”

99. Top 10 Technologies From WEFTEC 2016 10/25/2016

    300,000 square feet. That was the size of the tradeshow floor at WEFTEC, the world's largest annual water quality exhibition. I didn't see every technology showcased last month in New Orleans (over a thousand exhibitors were on hand), but here’s a “best of” list from the many that I came across — a snapshot of various technologies that stood out from the masses, exceptional for their level of innovation and potential for industry impact.

100. Sanasa Reduces Maintenance With 24/7 Remote Access To iFIX SCADA System 5/27/2021

     Sanasa is the company responsible for water supply and sewage services in the municipality of Campinas in Brazil. Sanasa uses iFIX HMI/SCADA from GE Digital for supervisory control and works with GE Digital partner, Aquarius Software. For remote access, Sanasa employs iFIX in conjunction with Microsoft's remote access solution, Remote Desktop Services (RDS), formerly called Terminal Services (TS). This combination facilitated the use of the supervision system, from operators to system administrators.
