SCADA & AUTOMATION RESOURCES

• Centralizing Wastewater Operations Through A Unified Digital Operating System

  Each day, operators and managers use SCADA systems, lab results, maintenance logs, and compliance records to make decisions. However, in many facilities, this information is stored in separate systems that don’t communicate well with each other.

• 2026 Predictions: The Next Frontier Of Water Starts Now

  Emerging trends signal a new era of agility, ethics, and resilience for water professionals.
• Down And Dirty With Digital: How AI Enhances Water Infrastructure Fieldwork

  Fieldwork is at the heart of infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation, as utilities, engineers, and contractors collaborate to build the systems and structures that treat and move water. The opportunity is great, but so are the challenges. Which is why new, digitally-enhanced tools are needed.

• The New Cyber Risk Challenging America's Water: Modernization Itself

  The integration of IT and OT systems has unlocked significant benefits — from enhanced operational visibility to smarter decision-making — and reflects years of hard work and commitment to innovation. This progress is a foundation for the next phase: strengthening defenses in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
• Agentic AI In The Water Sector: From Chatbots To Digital Operators

  If AI can inform decisions, can it also help execute them? For the water sector, this distinction is not just semantic; it is the difference between a digital assistant that takes notes and a digital operator that turns valves.

• Why Digital Solutions Still Struggle To Gain Traction At Utilities

  Utilities need greater efficiency, lower costs, and more visibility. So, one would think the uptake for digital solutions would be smoother and faster. But it’s not. Why?
• How Advanced Process Controls Empower Operators, Enhance Effluent Quality, Save Energy, And Reduce Emissions At WWTPs

  Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.

• The Hidden Costs Of Legacy Operational Technology

  Water and wastewater utilities can get stuck in a cycle of upgrading their legacy operational technology systems. Here’s how to break that cycle.

• From Data To Decisions: AI's New Role In Water Management

  Engineers are turning to AI to cut weeks of work into hours and sharpen critical decisions.
• Advancing Digital Solutions From Pilots To Practice In The Water Sector

  Across the water sector, the same question echoes through utilities and organizations: "We've completed a successful pilot, but now what?" While digital experimentation has become commonplace, the journey from pilot to practice remains challenging.
