  5. Understanding Urban Resilience And The Role Of Smart Water Networks 8/20/2024

    As cities grow and face environmental challenges, the concept of urban resilience becomes increasingly important. A recent study discusses the theoretical framework needed to build a smart water network that can enhance the resiliency of urban environments. It also reveals the critical technologies, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), that are key to pulling it all together.

  6. Math Solutions: Poundage Calculations For Waste Stream, Tank Volume, And Percent (%) Solution 1/6/2016

    Water Online’s “Math Solutions,” presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on poundage calculations.

  7. Color, Turbidity And Philosophy 1/28/2015

    When we humans look at objects we describe them in terms of color. We say that an apple is red or a leaf is green. To us color is an attribute just as surely as the mass or dimensions of an object. But the fact is that color is a pure human construct. Take away the human and it does not exist.

  8. Water Monitoring's Triple Threat: Bad Habits, Bad Readings, Bad Results 7/8/2019

    When water and wastewater plant operators can’t get accurate flow measurements or analytical readings — or lack confidence in their instruments’ readings — it creates challenges with the process. When substandard water goes to homes and causes a boil order, or discharge pollutes a lake or reservoir, the resulting bad press, fines, and potential lawsuits erode public confidence. Avoiding these kinds of problems is rooted in good preventive maintenance habits.
