WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Now More Than Ever, It's Time To Embrace 'Smart Water'

  The digital revolution is well underway across business, industry, and culture, but water utilities have some catching up to do. Utilities are not necessarily known for trailblazing new ideas and technologies, but that’s not a criticism; far from it, in fact. Water providers often prefer the tried and true for a very sound reason — the lives of their customers depend on their success. However, the jury is no longer out on the advantages of going digital, and the time to flip the switch is now.

• Computational Fluid Dynamics Hits Its Stride For Water, Wastewater, And Stormwater Treatment

  It took some time for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to find its way to the water industry, but now that it has, a primer is warranted to understand its application.

• Understanding Big Data In The Water Industry

  If you feel like you have too much data but not enough understandable or usable information, fine-tuning data collection and funneling it into an integrated data management system may be the way to become more proactive and make better decisions.

• Automating Stanley Consultants' Conceptual Design Process For A 1MGD Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility

  The Transcend Design Generator helped Stanley Consultants to automatically ascertain the appropriate sizing requirements for a new Flow Equalization Basin and an extension to the existing Aerobic Digester. 

• Your Feedback Helped Us Create The New Transcend Design Generator

• SWAN Corner: Wastewater Components Guide Sewer Investigations

  Extraneous water in the wastewater network is likely to increase as the climate change progresses. Wastewater components can offer key information for water utilities for prioritizing network inspections and renovations, such as CCTV and manhole cover inspections. At the same time, calculating wastewater components out of pumping stations data is a valuable example of how water utilities can extract concrete insights from large data sets.

• Solving Uncertainty: Using Big Data To Predict Urban Water Demand

  Data-rich utilities have the tools to forecast urban water demand, but some key considerations are often overlooked when creating models. Learn the pitfalls and how to resolve them.

• How Today's Water Facilities Are Successfully Integrating Advanced Technology, Data Analytics, And Predictive Modeling

  The water industry is seeing greater adoption of advanced technology, data analytics, and predictive modeling to enhance operational efficiency, improve equipment reliability, and ensure sustainability. These technology interventions need a concerted effort that considers people, processes, and technology to establish operational success after the planning phase.
• The Future Of Wastewater: Why Has The U.S. Been So Slow To Adopt AI Tools?

  Wastewater analytics are already being used around the world to monitor contamination, optimize treatment processes, and catch environmental scofflaws. So why has the U.S. been so slow to adopt these technologies?

• Sending Your Wet Weather Problem Back To The Cloud(s)

  Most of us don’t have to think about the vital infrastructure that supports our society.  Water is delivered to our homes and businesses 24/7, and wastewater is efficiently and cleanly whisked away.  The ability of our utilities to manage these services means we only take notice at times of inconvenience: water outages, sewer blockages, or stormwater overflows.
