41. Laboratory Analysis Demystified 2/24/2014

    Most people have no idea how critical getting a good sample is, and how hard it is in general to get really good data.  The analytical process for almost anything we test for has so many steps – each of which compounds any deviations or discrepancies made in the previous steps – that it’s vitally important to be as accurate and precise in each step along the way in order to get good, meaningful data in the end.

42. Measuring Innovation: Water Quality Analytics Startups To Watch 9/14/2015

    In an industry with more than its share of startup tech companies, Lux Research identifies innovators in water quality analytics that are poised to make a splash.

43. IoT And Pumps: What You Need To Know 5/1/2019

    When it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT), especially in the sometimes conservative water industry, there may be considerable hand-wringing over incorporating IoT into your pump process. Some of the most oft-asked questions — from implementation trends through start-up and ownership — are assembled and answered here.

44. 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.

45. Sounding The Alarm: How To Enable Efficient Infrastructure Surveillance And Response 7/6/2021

    With SCADA and an upgraded remote alarm notification system, North Port Utilities in Florida can keep ‘eyes’ on operations even when workers are off — out of sight but never out of touch.

46. SWAN Corner: Unlock Data To Improve Water Distribution System Operations 7/14/2021

    Water distribution system infrastructures are designed to deliver drinking water to end users, but utilities are continually faced with distinct challenges to fulfill this fundamental objective. For example, these utilities improve customer service by delivering water with high pressure, but on the other hand, water conservation policies push them to minimize water distribution leaks. For this reason, water utilities invest heavily in SCADA and telemetry technologies to support operational decisions. However, unlocking historical operational data and fusing it with other data (such as billing information from AMR/AMI networks) to generate actionable insights has proven difficult.

47. The Instrumentation Life-Cycle And Instrumentation Systems Within The UK Water Industry: From Concept To Replacement 1/12/2016

    The water industry in the UK faces a turning point in the use of instrumentation with the advent of TOTEX (capital expenditures [CAPEX] + operating expenditures [OPEX]) within the current Asset Management Period, the sixth since it privatized in 1989.

48. Sanitation District No. 1 Of Northern Kentucky Reduces Cost Of Multi-Million Dollar SSO Reduction Plan By 50% 10/5/2020

    Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1) of Northern Kentucky operates wastewater infrastructure for over 200,000 customer accounts. They partner with more than 30 local governments to provide reliable wastewater and stormwater services. Their wastewater asset network is comprised of approximately 1,650 miles of sanitary sewer pipe, 121 pump stations, and multiple treatment plants that treat about 36 million gallons of wastewater each day.

49. The Role Of IoT And Control Technologies In Water Filtration Systems 1/10/2019

    With time, labor, and money at a premium, state-of-the-art controls on filtration equipment can ease the burden on operators while improving uptime and lowering costs.

50. COVID-19 And Wastewater Utilities 4/23/2020

    Today, the world is facing unprecedented circumstances that are affecting every single sector and the water service is no exception. Although there is still more research to be done, this article has collected the currently available information to highlight how wastewater utilities have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, this article will attempt to look at the outbreak’s impact on utilities, the potential hazards, and the predominant solution.
