  1. Forecasting The Top 5 Water Trends In 2016 1/15/2016

    As the dawn of 2016 emerges and we look forward to the year ahead, it’s instructive to engage in a little prognostication.

  2. Next-Gen Water Monitoring: Autonomous And Real-Time Results 2/9/2021

    Municipal, commercial, and industrial water users all face a common issue — how to monitor the quality of the water they use, dispose of, or distribute in a timely, cost-effective manner.

  3. How Digitalization Can Boost Natural Disaster Resiliency In Municipal Water And Sewerage Treatment 3/28/2019

    Digitalization of the municipal water treatment industry is fragmented today, with instrumentation, control, and automation technologies mixed with manual operational activities. Such infrastructures can be detrimental in cases of hydro-geological events, such as severe storms and earthquakes. The good news: When natural disasters strike, digitalization can help get municipal water treatment back online quickly and effectively.

  4. Oporto Water Utility Develops Technology Platform For Integrated Management Of Urban Water Cycle 8/24/2022

    Explore how a water utility in Oporto, Portugal, designed, developed, and implemented an innovative solution for Smart Water Management by integrating existing IT solutions into a single platform. 

  5. Case Study: Continuous Online Monitoring Of Nitrate And Sludge Using UV/VIS Spectroscopic Sensor 8/18/2009

    Monitoring nitrates, total suspended solids and sludge volume concentrations ensures effluent quality, which is critical for meeting water quality standards for various regulatory agencies. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

  6. The Rights And Wrongs Of Measuring Flow In Wastewater 2/10/2015

    Innovation is upon us in flow meter design, allowing for more technology options and better precision. Don’t let faulty installations or O&M set you back.

  7. Leveraging ddPCR Technology For Accurate Wastewater Surveillance Testing 4/20/2022

    At this stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, where disease levels are diminishing in several parts of the U.S., authorities seeking to detect and isolate new outbreaks have found it best to transition from a triage-based clinical testing strategy to a broad surveillance strategy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has turned to wastewater testing for surveillance because this form of community-based testing allows authorities to detect spikes in viral levels in a community days before individuals experience clinical symptoms while encompassing the part of the population that is asymptomatic or hesitant to be tested.

  8. Looking Forward: How Digital Solutions Can Save Us From Future Disasters 3/18/2021

    Infrastructure rarely makes headlines, but the severe devastation in Texas requires a blunt conversation about aging infrastructure in the U.S. In a strange coincidence, shortly after news and images from Texas shocked the world, ASCE published its 2021 Infrastructure Report Card highlighting the decrepit state of the nation’s infrastructure, and, for the first time, including a report card for stormwater management.

  9. Saving Infrastructure With Sensors In The Sewer 9/4/2018

    With a little help from AI (artificial intelligence) and IoT (the Internet of Things), Kansas City gives a lesson on UEA-MEP — utilizing existing assets to the maximum extent possible.

  10. Engaging Stakeholders With Visualization And Analytics 11/24/2020

    The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, created in 1972 by the Clean Water Act (CWA), helps address water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into the waters of the United States.
