  1. Santa Barbara Strengthens Field Data Collection With A New Mobile GIS Workflow 11/12/2020

    The City of Santa Barbara, California, located roughly 90 miles north of Los Angeles, supplies water to approximately 95,000 residents. Given California's proneness to droughts, state water suppliers face operational challenges surrounding conservation, water-loss prevention, and system maintenance.

  2. Ultrasonic Metering For Small Water Meter Applications 9/19/2013

    For many years, ultrasonic metering has been utilized for large scale liquid and gas measurement. However, it is a relatively new technology for small meter applications — particularly those designed for potable water.

  3. Coal Yard Runoff Compliance Using Actiflo® Technology 3/6/2015

    Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

  4. Upcoming Standards And Compliance Regarding Lead-Free Requirements 9/18/2013

    Badger Meter has and will continue to manufacture and provide products that meet the requirements of current and future lead-free standards. This white paper discusses these changing industry needs both as they relate to Badger Meter products and to water utilities in general.

  5. WannaCry And NotPetya Demand A Cybersecurity Strategy 4/18/2019

    The need for a solid cybersecurity strategy has been discussed and debated for almost a half a century now, and yet the basic worm-type attacks first documented back in 1972 are still with us today. Why? Because even the most basic measures to protect control systems from these types of attacks are still not systematically employed. 

  6. Point, Click, Credit: Web-Based Operations And Maintenance Training 12/21/2022

    In a world of Web surfing, e-mail, personal digital assistants, and various other modes of digital communication, the advantages of providing information digitally have become obvious. For water quality professionals, the challenge is to provide an online learning environment that is readily accepted and used by staff.

  7. Evolution In Wastewater Goes With The Flow 9/21/2015

    While options for clean water flow measurement abound, there is room for improvement on the wastewater side — but new technologies are closing the gap.

  8. Precise Biogas Flow Measurement 4/25/2016

    As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.

  9. EPA's ENTACT Study Breaks New Ground With Non-Targeted Research 8/1/2018

    EPA scientists are leading a multi-phase project to evaluate the ability of non-targeted analysis laboratory methods to consistently and correctly identify unknown chemicals in samples. EPA’s Non-Targeted Analysis Collaborative Trial (ENTACT) was formed in late 2015 and includes nearly 30 academic, government, and industry groups. Non-targeted analysis involves analyzing water, soil and other types of samples to identify unknown chemicals that may be present, without having a preconceived idea of what chemicals may be in the samples.

  10. High Availability, Connected Control Solution Virtually Eliminates Downtime 5/24/2021

    Mekorot, Israel sought to reduce production costs through improved energy efficiency and tighter process control. They leveraged GE Digital's software and automation solutions to automatically monitor and control devices.
