• L&T Construction Delivers Clean Drinking Water To 2.5 Million Residents In India's Rural Communities

  As part of India’s Jal Jeevan Mission—a nationwide initiative to provide safe, piped drinking water to every rural household by 2024—the Rajghat multivillage rural water supply scheme stands out as a transformative project.

• Using Digital Twin Technology For The Hartford Clean Water Project

  Discover how the use of new smart technologies helps the Clean Water Project team better protect neighborhoods and local waterways through real-time monitoring of sewer system overflows, further driving digital transformation in one of America’s most historic cities.

• Smart People On Smart Water: 4 Perspectives From Europe

  The 7th Annual Smart Water Systems Conference, presented by SMi Group, brought smart water experts from around the world to London for two days in April. As an event partner, Water Online had interview access to event speakers — including those from some of Europe’s largest water providers — who were surveyed on trends and challenges in smart water. Read on to hear the thoughts of four smart water experts on four key questions.

• Empowering Success With A Common Operational View

  The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) in New Stanton, Pennsylvania, provides service to more than 130,000 water customers and approximately 27,000 sewer customers. MAWC maintains more than 2,400 miles of water mains, three water treatment plants and eleven wastewater treatment plants. Over the past four years, MAWC has integrated geographic information system (GIS) applications to enhance project workflows and integrate datasets. Previously, while reviewing its construction workflow process, MAWC was frustrated to learn that project status was not being effectively communicated between departments, causing serious delays in inspecting and activating new hydrants.

  From remote mountain locations to urban networks, how IT helps keep Denver Water's system running.
• Plan Ahead For Stormwater Runoff & Improve Service To Your Community

  It rains, it pours. And when it pours, our cities produce what is called stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff is what happens when rain falls on roads, driveways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces that do not allow water to soak into the ground.

• Math Solutions Explained: Calculate Food-to-Microorganism (F-M) Ratio

  The food-to-microorganism (F-M) ratio is a process control numeric value advantageous to determine the proper number of microorganisms for the biological treatment process. The solution of calculating F-M ratio uses the influent volume of wastewater into an activated sludge system (flow MGD), incoming carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) (mg/L) concentration into the aeration tank, mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (mg/L), and quantity (in gallons) of the respective aeration system.

• Kevin Costner's New Waterworld: Advancing Treatment Technology

  The actor is behind a company that has introduced advanced membrane technology to overcome water treatment challenges.

• Precise Biogas Flow Measurement

  As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.

• Cyanide Analysis Of Wastewater Samples From FCC And Hydrocracking Operations

  Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a major unit operation in refineries around the world. FCC is used to convert lowvalue, high molecular weight feedstocks such as shale oil, tar sands oil, and coker gas oils into lighter, high-value products by “cracking” C-C bonds.
