WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Instrumentation And Digital Transformation

  Whether you call it Digital Transformation, Water 4.0, or Smart Water, the water industry as a whole is changing drastically in the way that it operates. If you ask a dozen people what these buzzwords mean, you will naturally get a dozen answers. It is because the Digital Transformation of the water industry is different for different people and for different operational and management aspects of what is done to produce water, distribute it to customers, collect it, treat it, and put it back to the environment.

• Modernizing Water Management: How AI, 3D, And Immersive Reality Transform Water Utility Organizations Through Digital Twins

  Water utilities face increasing challenges, including aging infrastructure, climate change impacts, and growing demand. In this digital age, innovative technologies like AI, 3D modeling, and immersive reality offer transformative solutions. One such solution gaining traction is the concept of digital twins — virtual replicas of physical assets or systems.
• AI Could Solve America's Infrastructure Problem. Institutions Need To Let Engineers Use It.

  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.
• Full-Bore, Unrestricted Mounting Flow Meter For Municipalities

  Like all wastewater treatment facilities, the City of Pendleton WWTRRF faces the daily challenge of maintaining water safety and quality for the city while improving energy consumption and meeting city, state and national regulations. 

• On The Rise: Quality Of Water, Quality Of Life — From Northeast U.S. To Central Africa

  Bbanda is a small rural village of about 1,100 people in southern central Uganda, located 45 minutes from the closest town of Mityana. There is no electricity or reliable source of drinking water. But thanks to the work of some engineering students, that’s about to change.

• FMCW Or ToF? Which Radar Level Technology Is Best For Tank Gauging In Custody Transfer Applications?

  Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

• Sangamon Valley Public Water District Turns To FreeWave For Wireless M2M Technology

  Learn how FreeWave helped the Sangamon Valley Public Water District improve operational efficiency with a wireless M2M network designed for long range communications.

• Grad Student Reimagines Oklahoma City With Green Infrastructure Design Using InfoDrainage

  Andrea Tavera, a former University of Oklahoma graduate student, used Innovyze drainage design software to promote LID-based, green infrastructure design in hopes of resolving Oklahoma’s two greatest drainage challenges caused by stormwater runoff: excessive flooding and pollution. 

• COVID-19 Clues In A Community's Sewage: 4 Questions Answered About Watching Wastewater For Coronavirus

  Researchers around the world are testing wastewater for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in hopes that what goes down the drain can act as an early warning system for COVID-19 infections in communities.

• A Deluge of BIG DATA: The Connected Water Utility

  Water industry professionals are experiencing a data deluge. There’s a lot of data out there, gathered from sensors monitoring everything from water quality to pipe bursts — but altogether, it’s too much data divided among too many silos to make sense of what it all means.
