• The Proliferation Of Cyber Threats To Water And Wastewater

  The likelihood of a successful cyber attack against the water and wastewater industry is a direct result of a growing threat landscape. Without appropriate cybersecurity in place, anyone with malicious intent could access the network and contaminate or cease the treatment and distribution of water.

• A Dynamic Trio For Water Networks — Smart Metering, Hydraulic Modeling, And AI

  Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.
• Radioactive Iodine In Wastewater Treatment Plants

  Radioactive material in the environment often causes public concern or even panic. However, it is very common for wastewater treatment plants to have some radioactive material passing through the system. Radioactive material may occur naturally or through nuclear fission. Iodine-127 and Iodine-131 are the most common Iodine isotopes found in municipal biosolids, because it has a tendency to re-concentrate in the waste stream_. This article will further explain the basic background of radioactive Iodine, its use, health risks, and its presence in the wastewater treatment plant.

• A Golden Spike In Revenue, Efficiency, And Customer Service With The R900® System

  In 2008, the public utility manager in Ogden City, Utah sent out a request for proposal on a system-wide changeout of its meters, absolute encoders, and radio frequency meter interface units (RF MIUs), with a goal of eliminating estimating and replacing all their meters with AMR technology to read year-round.

• How To Mitigate Biofouling In Your Industrial Process Using 2^nd Generation ATP

  Microorganisms can wreak havoc in industrial processes in a number of ways – from slime formation that causes paper breaks and excessive downtime in papermaking facilities, to costly recalls of spoiled final product. Consequently, an effective microbiological control program, which includes accurate and reliable monitoring, is critical for maintaining an efficient process and final product quality.

• OpenFlows WaterGEMS Saves Sabesp BRL 365,000 Per Month On Diadema's Water Treated Volume Costs

  Within the São Paulo metropolitan area, the city of Diadema in Brazil comprises 400,000 residents. Supplying water to 28.8 million people and treating and collecting sewage for 23.2 million people, Sabesp – Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo provides water and collects and treats sewage for 366 cities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

• Can The Internet Of Things Lower AMI Solution Cost?

  Low-power wide-area networks are critical to the Internet of Things but may also work to bring advanced metering infrastructure to the masses.

• Engineering For Water And Wastewater Infrastructure Resilience

  How water utilities get by when bad things happen is a reflection of their system's resilience. 

• Smart Water Questions Answered

  A smart-water expert details the impact of data and analytics on the water sector.

• What's So “Smart” About Potable Smart Water Networks?

  Smart Networks— no matter if they are on the potable side of the industry or the wastewater side— seem to be one of the next battlegrounds for efficiency.
