WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• 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).

• Support For New Zealand 4th Edition CCTV Pipeline Condition Inspection Standard

  InfoAsset Manager 2021.8 now offers support for the New Zealand Water and Wastes Association 4th Edition of the New Zealand Gravity Pipe Inspection Manual Conduit Inspection Reporting Code. This extends support to the existing 3rd Edition legacy version of the standard. The revision to the 3rd Edition was identified in the report prepared for the "Evidence Based Investment Decision Making for 3 Waters Pipe Network Programme", a joint initiative between WaterNZ, IPWEA, University of Canterbury Quake Centre titled "Recommendations for the Revision of the New Zealand Pipe Inspection Manual, December 2016" by ProjectMax.

• Florida's Largest Public Utility Recovers One Billion Gallons Of Unaccounted-For Water

  Learn how Sensus Omni Meters, a rigorous testing program, and infrastructure upgrades saved a utility time and money. 

• Denver Water Protects Customers With Data-Driven Lead Reduction Program

  Denver Water is committed to delivering a safe, reliable water supply to its customers. The water provided to homes and businesses is lead-free, but lead can get into the water as it moves through customer-owned, lead-containing household fixtures, plumbing, and water service lines—the pipe that brings water into the home from the main in the street.

• Detecting COVID-19 Early Via Wastewater Surveillance

  Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is the analysis of wastewater to identify the presence of biologicals or chemicals for the purpose of monitoring public health. It can provide a snapshot of entire communities from one sample. Detecting viral diseases by way of wastewater monitoring is nothing new, it’s been known for decades that viral particles can be detected in human feces. WBE has previously been used to detect the presence of pharmaceutical or industrial waste, drugs, viruses, and potential emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In Israel, a wastewater surveillance program for monitoring polio outbreaks has been successfully running since 1989.

• IoT And Pumps: What You Need To Know

  When it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT), especially in the sometimes conservative water industry, there may be considerable hand-wringing over incorporating IoT into your pump process. Some of the most oft-asked questions — from implementation trends through start-up and ownership — are assembled and answered here.

• Understanding ISE Measurements In Wastewater Process Monitoring

  Analytic measuring technique provides a huge number of procedures to determine the concentrations of substances in an unknown sample, e.g. photometry, titration or mass spectrometry.

• City of Bend, OR Achieves Cost-Effective Strategies For Water System Upgrades Due To Growth

  Murraysmith used Optimizer to a develop a long-term masterplan for Bend’s water distribution system, to help the city prepare for future population growth. Bend has been experiencing steady population growth over the years, and this growth is not expected to slow down in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this masterplan optimization was to determine the most cost-effective strategy for upgrading the system to be able to prepare for the anticipated future demands.

• HRSD Gains New Operational Awareness To Improve Wastewater Operations

  In southeastern Virginia, Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) handles wastewater treatment for 1.7 million people in 20 cities and counties. Sea-level rise, unusually high tides, and extreme storms prompted a $1.2 billion program—the Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) that involves replenishing the Potomac aquifer with up to 100 million gallons of SWIFT Water (water treated to meet drinking water standards and matched to the existing groundwater chemistry in the aquifer) per day, an action that may slow or reduce the impact of sea level rise by slowing land settling, or subsidence.

• Automatic Delivery Gives Back: A Hard-Water Case Study

  Eighty-five percent of the U.S. has hard water, characterized by a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions.¹ This means 85% of the nation’s population must use more time and cleaning solution to achieve the same results the other 15% have no trouble with. From hand-washing to laundry, hard water takes its toll in more ways than one. Dry skin, cloudy dishes, and higher maintenance on industrial appliances are just a few of the many effects hard water has.
