WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Optimization Takes The Guesswork Out Of CSO Reduction Planning For New York City DEP

  Optimatics teamed with WCS, Hazen & Sawyer, and Mott McDonald to optimize the configuration of regulator structures in their combined sewer systems in order to reduce the frequency and severity of CSO events.

• Innovating Wastewater Treatment: Harnessing AI For Energy Efficiency And Enhanced Performance

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by energy-intensive aeration processes and the consequent escalation of operational costs in wastewater treatment.

• Albuquerque Water Utility Eases The Pressure On System Performance With Xylem Technology

  Explore how the Sensus Pressure Profile Software Application saved time and resources for an Albuquerque Water Utility. 

• How Kansas City, MO Optimized Overflow Control For 10 Basins In 3 Months And At Almost Half The Cost Of Original Plan

  Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) was updating their Overflow Control Plan as part of a federal consent decree with the aim to reduce the frequency and severity of combined and sanitary system overflows during wet weather events. KCMO needed to quickly find the most efficient, cost-effective way to reach compliance and serve their 478 000 residents. They partnered with Optimatics and EmNet leveraging the Optimizer platform to identify the best combinations of conveyance, in line storage, and I/I reduction strategies to achieve their program goals at the lowest lifecycle cost.

• Monitoring Water Quality With UVC LEDs

  Rapid detection of changes in water quality is critical in water delivery systems, wastewater treatment, and industrial plants for process optimization, environmental regulatory requirements, and consumer health.

• GoAigua's Digital Twin Saves 1B+ Gallons Of Water/Year

  Water transport and distribution systems in many cities have become complex to manage as they are forced to adjust to the problems of population growth, resource shortages, aging infrastructure and optimization of daily network operations. Consequently, digital twins of water networks are increasingly widely used for decision-making around their operation and management.

• A Comprehensive Software Tool For Assessing Risk At Wastewater Treatment Plants

  Understanding risk is the first step to combating system failure and protecting the public and the environment from unsafe water.

• The Future Of AI Is Looming

  When people talk about artificial intelligence, they tend to sort into four camps — doomers, gloomers, bloomers, and zoomers. The doomers fear the robot apocalypse. The gloomers worry AI will automate away all the meaningful jobs. The bloomers are optimistic about AI innovation but want to take a measured approach with guardrails as the technology develops. And the zoomers? They're already deep into it and want minimal regulation to accelerate progress. But I'd like to add a fifth mindset to the mix: the loomers.

• Bridging The Gap: Bringing Agile Innovation To The Water Sector

  As utilities face rising challenges, the need for digital tools has never been clearer. Yet our approach to building and implementing technology often clashes with how digital solutions are actually developed. To meet the moment, we need to rethink not just what tools we use, but how we partner to build them.
• State-Of-The-Art Wastewater Analysis Systems Will Be Key To Guarding Public Health In The Future

  Wastewater is suddenly an important source for data and insight for solving problems beyond the scope of traditional water management.
