• Is It Time To Start Worrying About Treatment Plant Hackers?

  Treatment plant control systems are more vulnerable to computer hacks than ever before. What should utilities be doing to prepare themselves?

• Top Three Water System Inefficiencies You Can Address Today With Better Insights From Your Data

  As utilities continue to innovate and pursue the digitalization of water distribution and wastewater systems, new water tech can lead the way in addressing operational inefficiencies.

• 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?
• Getting A Jump On Pump Maintenance To Reduce Costs And Improve Resilience

  To improve pump maintenance and service to 418,000 in and around Wellington, Wellington Water trialed Info360 Insight from Autodesk as part of a solution with Stantec.

• Identifying And Estimating The Value Of SCADA And Smart Metering Systems In Water Distribution Networks

  Considering the invaluable service provided to the society by the water companies, it is imperative to ensure their sustainability. To achieve this objective, these organizations must be allowed to fulfill their mission with effectiveness and efficiency. Information and communication technologies are especially important tools in this pursuit of enhanced performance.

• The Future Of AI Is Looming

  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.

• How To Control Activated Sludge With Online Sensors

  The goal for domestic wastewater treatment in the 21st century should be to have a minimal carbon footprint and to be 100% self-sustainable with regards to energy, carbon, and nutrients – while achieving a discharge or reuse quality that preserves the quality of receiving waters (Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF), 2009). Sustainability with respect to energy requires both conservation and production. By Dr. Robert Smith, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE, YSI, a Xylem brand
