• 9 Benefits Of IoT-Based Water-Level Monitoring

  With the dearth of quality source water a major and worsening issue for utilities and industry, water-level monitoring is paramount for successful operations — as is stepping up to IoT technology.

• GIS: A Large Role At A Small Utility

  I did not have any experience with geographic information system (GIS) technology when I was introduced to Esri in 2016. I started my working career on my father's shrimp boat in the late 1970s, when work was scarce. I followed my father's path as a union pipe welder. Quickly I realized that my interests lay elsewhere. My family was a mix of fishermen, construction workers, and other skilled professionals, so I followed suit and delved into a little bit of it all. I found I really enjoyed working in the construction field and chose masonry.

• Seal Rock Conserves Water And Advances Customer Service With Sensus

  In this case study, discover how an Oregon water district moved to AMI for better accuracy and response time. 

• Engineering Into The Future: Modernizing With ArcGIS

  When San Juan Water District's (SJWD) legacy CAD-based geographic information system (GIS) lost its functionality to communicate across departments, it created bottlenecks and data silos. Collaboration became a struggle as staff began to rely on disparate datasets, paper map books, and outdated systems. It was time for a change. SJWD needed a solution that would repair the damage and, more importantly, ensure a sustainable future.

• Water Monitoring's Triple Threat: Bad Habits, Bad Readings, Bad Results

  When water and wastewater plant operators can’t get accurate flow measurements or analytical readings — or lack confidence in their instruments’ readings — it creates challenges with the process. When substandard water goes to homes and causes a boil order, or discharge pollutes a lake or reservoir, the resulting bad press, fines, and potential lawsuits erode public confidence. Avoiding these kinds of problems is rooted in good preventive maintenance habits.

• Looking Forward: How Digital Solutions Can Save Us From Future Disasters

  Infrastructure rarely makes headlines, but the severe devastation in Texas requires a blunt conversation about aging infrastructure in the U.S. In a strange coincidence, shortly after news and images from Texas shocked the world, ASCE published its 2021 Infrastructure Report Card highlighting the decrepit state of the nation’s infrastructure, and, for the first time, including a report card for stormwater management.

• Water Stewardship- Because Everyone Is A Water Manager

  Smart water technology has evolved the water utility’s role within municipalities to have a seat at the proverbial Smart City table, participate in the IoT plan, and drive water stewardship. There are many benefits to replacing your meter system with AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) technology. For the utility, the game-changer is when you couple it with meter data management software which streamlines and prioritizes data so you can make timely, informed decisions.

• 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.

• Grad Student Reimagines Oklahoma City With Green Infrastructure Design Using InfoDrainage

  Andrea Tavera, a former University of Oklahoma graduate student, used Innovyze drainage design software to promote LID-based, green infrastructure design in hopes of resolving Oklahoma’s two greatest drainage challenges caused by stormwater runoff: excessive flooding and pollution. 

• AMA Improves Accuracy And Customer Service For Texas City

  After deployment of an AMI system that didn’t work properly, initially forcing them to manually read meters, Highland Village was in need of a new vendor and product they could count on. Enter Badger Meter and the BEACON® AMA managed solution, with ORION® Cellular endpoints.
