31. The Next Wave In The Water Industry 7/24/2023

    Despite a combination of need, opportunities, and competitive salaries, wastewater agencies and consulting firms face shortages of qualified workers. Learn more about making the case for Gen Z by utilizing technology.

32. Wastewater Plant Streamlines Process Monitoring 7/13/2018

    In its quest to gain greater remote accessibility and increase ease of use, a progressive sewerage authority elected to think outside the traditional SCADA box.

33. Identifying And Estimating The Value Of SCADA And Smart Metering Systems In Water Distribution Networks 2/4/2014

    Considering the invaluable service provided to the society by the water companies, it is imperative to ensure their sustainability. To achieve this objective, these organizations must be allowed to fulfill their mission with effectiveness and efficiency. Information and communication technologies are especially important tools in this pursuit of enhanced performance.

34. Ultrasonic Flow Measurement System Saves WWTP $72,500 Annually 10/3/2014

    If the wastewater treatment plant serving Reading, PA, and 11 surrounding municipalities has a mission statement for its day-to-day operations, it couldn’t be simpler or more critical: “95°F.”

35. Math Solutions: Poundage Calculations 10/28/2014

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

36. 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.

37. Point Level vs. Continuous Level Measuring Technologies 5/14/2018

    While point level measuring approaches are regarded as simple and user-friendly, they lack the capabilities of more sophisticated continuous measuring instruments.

38. 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.

39. Optimizing SCADA Data For Operational Inefficiencies Within A Water Distribution System 11/29/2021

    As water utilities and companies continue to pursue a digital transformation of their distribution and collection systems, new technologies can help address operational inefficiencies within the distribution network itself and for planning, engineering, operations, and the public.

40. SWAN Corner: Wastewater Components Guide Sewer Investigations 12/14/2021

    Extraneous water in the wastewater network is likely to increase as the climate change progresses. Wastewater components can offer key information for water utilities for prioritizing network inspections and renovations, such as CCTV and manhole cover inspections. At the same time, calculating wastewater components out of pumping stations data is a valuable example of how water utilities can extract concrete insights from large data sets.
