  1. UV Treatment Upgrades In Wales 8/26/2025

    In order to improve the treatment performance (because of the continued cost to maintain compliance), and ensure that it would eventually have the treatment capacity to meet future population growth equivalent of up to 225,000, Swansea WwTW was in need of an equipment upgrade.

  2. AI Could Solve America's Infrastructure Problem. Institutions Need To Let Engineers Use It. 8/25/2025
    The state of America’s crumbling infrastructure continues to be a perennial concern as the scale of the problem continually outpaces both the funding and the human resources needed to solve it. Engineers have the solution — AI systems that offer unprecedented speed and potential cost savings — but to leverage its full potential, engineers need to take on a new role — and potentially a new business model.
  3. A Dynamic Trio For Water Networks — Smart Metering, Hydraulic Modeling, And AI 7/8/2025
    Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.
  4. The Future Of AI Is Looming 7/8/2025
    When people talk about artificial intelligence, they tend to sort into four camps — doomers, gloomers, bloomers, and zoomers. The doomers fear the robot apocalypse. The gloomers worry AI will automate away all the meaningful jobs. The bloomers are optimistic about AI innovation but want to take a measured approach with guardrails as the technology develops. And the zoomers? They're already deep into it and want minimal regulation to accelerate progress. But I'd like to add a fifth mindset to the mix: the loomers.

  5. Combating Climate Change With AI-Driven Smart Water Solutions 7/7/2025

    As climate change continues to intensify, utilities face a growing list of challenges from unpredictable storm events and aging infrastructure to rising energy demands and water scarcity. These evolving external pressures are forcing utility leaders to reimagine infrastructure and operations, adopt resilient systems, and pursue sustainable practices grounded in data.

  6. Scaling Smart Water — How Utilities Can Grow Quickly And Confidently With Digital Technologies 6/26/2025

    Challenges associated with deploying smart water technologies include "Where do I begin?" and "Who do I use?". These questions can often be barriers to small and mid-sized utilities that have limited resources available to them and are already burdened with competing daily priorities.

  7. Impact Of Real-Time NH3-N Monitoring In Wastewater Treatment Plants 6/24/2025

    In this white paper, learn how real-time monitoring of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen (N) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a game-changer for optimizing treatment performance and energy efficiency.

  8. SCADA Skills Fuel Smarter Water Grids 6/13/2025
    SCADA technology generates excitement because it can tackle some of the water industry's most significant pain points. It complements innovations like IoT and AI, enhancing maintenance efficiency and eliminating downtime. Use these best practices to embrace SCADA and related technologies for a competitive advantage.
  9. Leeton Shire Improves Efficiency And Service Levels With An Affordable, Intuitive Digital Solution 5/27/2025

    Although Leeton Shire already had some digital technologies in place, such as SCADA, GIS and AMI, they lacked hydraulic modeling capabilities and expertise — which is why they turned to Qatium’s open and secure water management platform.

  10. Bridging The Gap: Bringing Agile Innovation To The Water Sector 5/8/2025
    As utilities face rising challenges, the need for digital tools has never been clearer. Yet our approach to building and implementing technology often clashes with how digital solutions are actually developed. To meet the moment, we need to rethink not just what tools we use, but how we partner to build them.
