• 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.

• Utility Combined Data From 22 Types Of Sources Into A Digital Twin To Monitor Its Water System In Real Time

  Bentley’s water solutions helped build a unified management program to access data in the field, producing operation gains of 25%.

• Understanding The Impact Of Smart Water

  To appreciate the impact of smart water solutions — Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning — one must first identify some of the main challenges involved in water and wastewater network monitoring, as well as the benefits of real-time, proactive versus traditional, reactive approaches. This impact is intertwined by economic, social, and environmental dimensions, which are best enabled through industry collaboration.

• SWAN Corner: Optimizing Data Intelligence Helps Orlando Protect Its Citizens During Heavy Rain Events
