• How Microgrids Can Reduce The Energy Pressures On Water Infrastructure

  With the ability to isolate from the primary grid, maximize the full potential of onsite distributed energy resources (DERs), and intelligently manage onsite energy loads, microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to help water departments modernize operations for the energy demands of today and tomorrow.
• Testing The Waters: SCADA Simulator Updates Operator Training

  It might seem straight out of Space Camp, but  there is an increasingly common scene in water and wastewater municipalities where supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) simulation training offers hands-on experience to usher in the next generation of operators.

• Scaling Smart Water — How Utilities Can Grow Quickly And Confidently With Digital Technologies

  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.

• Beniganim Reduces The Energy Cost Of Filling Its Main Water Tank By 15%

  The Bonavista tank is one of the most important water storage elements in Beniganim’s drinking water system. The aim of this Spanish Town Council, which is responsible for municipal water management, was to solve supply issues and reduce operating costs.

• The Role Of AI In Reducing Water Contamination Risks

  Insights gained from artificial intelligence (AI) herald a high-water mark for public protection.
• Employing Wastewater Testing To Monitor Infection Trends And Control The Spread Of COVID-19

  Since March of last year, when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, the U.S. has recorded over 33.7 million cases of infection and surpassed 600,000 deaths due to the highly transmissible viral disease.

• Leveraging Their Hydraulic Model With Asset Management Data, WSSC Strategic Asset Planning Delivers A Transparent, Unified Approach

  The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) has adopted the use of Optimatics' Optimizer platform in its Asset Management Program decision making process. WSSC is leveraging algorithms, intelligent automation, and the computational cloud provided by Optimizer to simultaneously balance risk, cost, and hydraulic performance objectives for mains renewal alternative options.

• How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry

  Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

• Color, Turbidity And Philosophy

  When we humans look at objects we describe them in terms of color. We say that an apple is red or a leaf is green. To us color is an attribute just as surely as the mass or dimensions of an object. But the fact is that color is a pure human construct. Take away the human and it does not exist.

• What Benefits Do Variable Frequency Drives Offer For Pump Control?

  People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.
