WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Flood Forecasting: The Original Operational Water Digital Twin

  Flooding can be an essential part of the economy — so much agriculture depends on the nutrients that flood brings. However, most of us know flooding for the damage, disruption, and of course loss of life, that it brings.

• Legal Issues In Big Data: 2017

  Big Data is often characterized by the large volume of data, the wide variety of data types and the velocity at which the data must be processed. Data can come from many different sources, such as social media use, online purchases, licensed twitter data streams or sensors used in the Internet of Things (IoT).

• SWAN Corner: Optimizing Data Intelligence Helps Orlando Protect Its Citizens During Heavy Rain Events

  The City of Orlando Streets and Stormwater Division is responsible for maintaining and improving drainage facilities to prevent flooding and ensure all receiving water bodies meet state and federal water quality standards. They oversee upwards of 100 lakes within the City and approximately 147 drainage wells with 70 monitoring stations for lakes and waterways, and have 23 rainfall stations collecting data by telemetry over a cellular network. The Streets and Stormwater Division keeps two million people safe from flooding during heavy summer rainfalls and periodic tropical events. 

• Myths And Realities: Ammonium Based Aeration Control In Wastewater

  The introduction of simple, reliable, and affordable in situ sensors based on ion selective electrode (ISE) technology provides the opportunity for more advanced activated sludge control strategies. For example, aeration control using ammonium as a response variable in addition to or in place of dissolved oxygen (DO) using continuous monitoring and control instruments.

• Model Behavior: Evaluating Instrumentation And Control In The Coagulation Process

  An electrical engineer does the math on coagulation process control, using computational modeling to determine best practices.

• Pollution Early-Warning Technology Chosen By Anglian Water

  Anglian Water has become the first utility to adopt new cloud-based technology to detect rising main sewer bursts. The UK utility is implementing early-warning system BurstDetect, as part of its drive to eliminate serious pollution events in its region by 2025.

• Igniting A Smart Water Movement

  Water scarcity. Aging infrastructure. Uncertainty due to climate change. Experts from across the water sector agree that water challenges are intensifying, and that action and public awareness is a necessity. Now we have the need — and the opportunity — for those same voices to raise the volume on one of the most powerful ways to address increasing water threats: digital innovation.

• How Newark's Lead Pipe Replacement Program Sparked The Creation Of leadCAST

  Learn about how helping Newark digitize their lead pipe replacement program served as the foundation for leadCAST, a cloud-based management system for Lead & Copper Rule program management.

• Math Solutions: Flow Rate Conversions

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), provides an understanding of the sometimes difficult calculations involved in achieving wastewater operator certification.

• From Insight To Output: How Digital Solutions Can Advance Industrial Water Management

  Smart water management is not just a moral responsibility; it’s also a business imperative. Without insights and analytics that empower organizations to act quickly to reach optimal water performance, enterprises stand to lose billions of dollars in asset, water, energy, and operating efficiency.
