• Math Solutions Explained: Pipe Volume Gallons

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions Explained” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), educates operators by explaining pipe volume gallons calculations.

• Delivering Digital Water — Are We There Yet?

  The water industry's greatest technology trend is also one with scattershot levels of adoption, but that can change with proper understanding of the purpose for and pathway toward Digital Water.
• How Can AI Be Used To Ethically Provide Clean Drinking Water?

  Due to the fast implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the water industry, there are unknowns which create challenges in establishing protocols.
• Instrumentation Do's And Don'ts For The Water Industry

  To say that instrumentation, automation, and control are key to the modern wastewater industry is somewhat of an understatement.  With growing populations, tighter consent parameters, and the need to do more for less, operational efficiency is more and more important. 

• Who Sees What You Flush? Wastewater Surveillance For Public Health Is On The Rise, But A New Survey Reveals Many U.S. Adults Are Still Unaware

  Flush and forget? Not if you have a toilet that flushes to one of over 3,000 sites around the world where researchers are using wastewater to track SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. But what do members of the public actually know about wastewater surveillance? And what do they think about researchers tracking what they send down the drain at their home?

• 6 Reasons Modern Water Treatment Relies On Smart Sensors

  Smart sensors for water treatment facilities are revolutionizing wastewater processing and clarification, leading to some amazing benefits. Modern water treatment has become a high-tech field as many facilities have begun adopting connected IoT sensors to monitor their equipment and water quality. Learn more about the benefits of these smart sensors and why they are an integral part of today's water treatment industry.

• The Instrumentation Life-Cycle And Instrumentation Systems Within The UK Water Industry: From Concept To Replacement

  The water industry in the UK faces a turning point in the use of instrumentation with the advent of TOTEX (capital expenditures [CAPEX] + operating expenditures [OPEX]) within the current Asset Management Period, the sixth since it privatized in 1989.

• 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.

• Why IoT Is Crucial For Modern Water Treatment Automation

  Professionals interested in smart water treatment often explore how Internet of Things (IoT) sensors can get them closer to their goals. These devices track data in real time, revealing how leaders should optimize their processes. What are some potential benefits associated with applying IoT technologies?
• The Role Of Policy In Protecting Water Quality

  Businesses, governments, and communities can all play a role in safeguarding water quality by embracing a multifaceted policy framework that integrates modern technology with a focus on mitigating public health risks. In this article, we'll analyze exactly how water quality affects public health, how policy has shaped modern water quality, and what types of policies will be needed in the future.
