WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Water And The Internet Of Things: 2016

  Forecasters predict that California could receive record amounts of rain during this winter because of El Nino. Smart water management is important in times of no rain or too much rain so our conservation efforts must continue. The Internet of Things (“IoT”) can help the water supply from the El Nino rains be used more efficiently and with less waste.

• Evolving The SWAN 5-Layers To A Circular Framework

  Building off the industry accepted tech and distribution network-focused original SWAN 5-Layer Smart Water Model (learn more here), this new circular framework is a result of the evolution of smart water and strategic input provided by diverse, global SWAN Members, and thought leaders. Thank you to all those that contributed their insights to this framework, from across social media to the open innovation sessions held for our global membership!

• Los Angeles Department Of Water And Power Uses GIS To Improve Water Incident Management

  While utilities use sophisticated systems to supply clean water as well as collect and treat wastewater, the effort to manage incidents and outages leaves room for improvement. Water utilities often rely on manual processes to handle customer reports of leaks, loss-of-service or quality issues.

• Protecting Against Doomsday Contaminants

  New tools are being developed for worst-case drinking water scenarios: chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-related contamination.

• Sangamon Valley Public Water District Turns To FreeWave For Wireless M2M Technology

  Learn how FreeWave helped the Sangamon Valley Public Water District improve operational efficiency with a wireless M2M network designed for long range communications.

• City Of Columbus: Facilities And Safety Training Management

  The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

• Understanding The Value of Instrumentation In The Water Industry

  As long as instrumentation is selected, installed, commissioned, and maintained properly the data that it can give is invaluable to the water industry. 

• Math Solutions: More Flow Rate Conversion Calculations

  This edition of Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on flow rate conversion calculations.

• Arcadis Completes Hong Kong MTR Extreme Weather & Climate Change Impact Study With InfoWorks ICM

  Arcadis was commissioned to support this client’s long-term resilience investment strategy by using catchment-level hydraulic modeling and holistic risk assessment. The work assessed flood risks arising from extreme weather events.

• Scaling Smart Water — How Utilities Can Grow Quickly And Confidently With Digital Technologies

  Challenges associated with deploying smart water technologies include "Where do I begin?" and "Who do I use?". These questions can often be barriers to small and mid-sized utilities that have limited resources available to them and are already burdened with competing daily priorities.
