WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Saving Infrastructure With Sensors In The Sewer

  With a little help from AI (artificial intelligence) and IoT (the Internet of Things), Kansas City gives a lesson on UEA-MEP — utilizing existing assets to the maximum extent possible.

• 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 Collaboration became a struggle as staff began to rely on disparate datasets, paper map books, and outdated systems.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.

  SUEZ North America worked with Optimatics to investigate whether changing fixed-pressure reducing valve settings and pump controls could help to reduce leakage losses in the Rockland County water distribution system-without compromising on customer service levels.

• Peer Perspectives: The Dilemma Of OEM Control Systems Cost Escalation

  An under-utilized strength exists for manufacturers of performance-based equipment. This strength is controlling cost through the warranty/guarantee you, as the manufacturer, provide.

• The High Stakes Of Smart Water: $1 Trillion And 1.8 Billion People

  Making the business case for smart water networks and advanced metering infrastructure

• Continuous Monitoring And Control System Improves Communication, Operating Efficiency

  In the early 1990s, the Borough of Ridgway purchased several separate systems to control their water treatment and five bay filtration processes. Through the years, technology obsolescence led to difficulties in obtaining support and spare parts for all the systems. At one point, the existing systems completely failed, leaving Ridgway employees to manually operate the plant for several months. A new, more efficient system was desperately needed.

• How A 'Smart' City Improves Life For Residents, Visitors, And Business

  Cities that champion infrastructure improvements and embrace connectivity are well on their way to attracting today’s citizens and encouraging growth. Here’s a look at the benefits a smart city provides for its residents, workforce, and visitors.

• SWAN Corner: Digital Twin At A 45-Year-Old WWTP

  The multi-award-winning Pukete Wastewater Treatment Plant digital twin project takes the complex and very relevant problem of collecting, integrating, and maintaining information about existing asset stock. It breaks this problem down into smaller, palatable chunks and addresses each component of the problem though the implementation of several technologies. This is underpinned by trust and true collaboration between Beca (the consulting team), EcoDomus (software vendor), and Hamilton City Council (the client).

• Ohio Utility Collaborates With Xylem To Upgrade Outdated Lift Station

  Discover how a design-build project provided a turnkey solution in quick fashion. 

• Smart Networks Are The Answer. What's The Question?

  Water utilities around the globe face the same challenges: increasing population, urbanization, and more frequent extreme weather events. New supply to meet increasing demand is very expensive. Changing customer behavior to reduce demand is very difficult. The question is how to get more from existing infrastructure.
