More than ever, sustainable domestic wastewater management is crucial. It’s about keeping our water clean and conserving this precious resource. This means finding smart ways to treat and reuse domestic wastewater at home. What does sustainable domestic wastewater management mean for you? It’s about taking charge of your water usage and treatment at home. We’ll explore ...
As a wave of older workers retire from public service careers, the loss of critical institutional knowledge in the water and wastewater sector is a well-known concern. Institutional knowledge or memory is the collection of unwritten, decentralized information related to an organization’s history, relationships, processes, and assets accumulated over time. Smaller organizations are more ...
When it comes to complex engineering problems, particularly in industrial sectors like oil and gas, power generation, or water and wastewater management, decisions need to be made based on the best data available. Until relatively recently, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems were pretty much the only sources of data for engineers. ...
In 2021, drinking water facilities located in Tampa, Florida, suffered a cyberattack that sought to poison the population by increasing the amount of sodium hydroxide in the system. In 2020, pumping stations and water management facilities in Israel were targeted by cyberattacks, whilst in 2018, the Swiss city of Ebikon’s water supply received thousands of malware requests. Fortunately, all ...

Archaeologists know that rubbish heaps and abandoned outhouses provide insights into ancient cultures. They can learn about diet, health, and daily life in long-forgotten communities. Today, scientists have discovered the benefits of tracking community data in wastewater. Many health markers travel in human waste products. As they collect data, they find information about the prevalence of ...
Most people take clean water for granted. We’re accustomed to drawing a stream of clear water every time we turn on a faucet. However, collecting water from a local reservoir and distributing it directly to your home requires a complicated system of pipes, pumps, and treatment facilities. ...
For the past 10 years, the utility had a custom programmed, radio-based SCADA system in place and it worked the way the operators needed it to. ...
Water is an effective solvent, so the water from a residential faucet will naturally have trace amounts of different substances. Ionic minerals like calcium and sodium will improve the taste of tap water. Many water systems add fluoride to support dental health in the area. Other contaminants are not beneficial. When a substance has associated health risks, the Clean Water Act empowers the EPA to ...
The concern about polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and the environment has grown in recent years. These forever chemicals are the latest target of the EPA’s attention. Supported by funds made available in the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the agency has released a strategic roadmap for addressing these chemicals. ...
Managing waste is a complicated process that involves daily pickup schedules, trucking logistics, and sorting facilities. Waste management companies must deal with millions of tons of garbage every year. As this number increases, simple solutions are no longer sustainable. This increasing complexity requires new solutions. Embracing artificial intelligence technology will help improve the ...
On March 15, 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency released a series of proposed regulations around the worst-case discharge of Clean Water Act substances. Under the proposal, industrial facilities that store toxic materials and other pollutants on-site must develop an action plan in the event of a release during adverse conditions. The agency drafted these rules to respond to the growing ...
The Infrastructure Investment and Job Act will have far-reaching effects across the nation. This law seeks to improve safety and create jobs by investing in projects like bridges, roads, and high-speed internet access. Improvements to local water systems are a large piece of the bipartisan law funding plan. Every state, Tribal nation, and territory will receive millions of dollars for water ...
As communities navigate COVID-19, sustainability is a top priority for many companies. Smart metering provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to distribute power and water resources to modern communities. Many cities and utility companies use smart meters to improve operations, save costs, and provide quality customer service. ...
High Tide delivers a secure cloud-based SCADA package that integrates preventative maintenance insights and comprehensive data monitoring solutions. ...
The digitalisation of water systems involves obtaining large amounts of data, and sometimes this information comes from different systems; for the data collected to be operational and effective, they must be integrated into a single platform that facilitates further analysis and study. At Hidroconta we have developed a data integration API in order to perform a comprehensive study of the ...
In the natural world, water flows downwards with the force of gravity. Municipal water systems take advantage of this constant force whenever possible. However, the local landscape is rarely just a downhill slope. In water distribution systems and water treatment plants, pumps work to move water against gravity’s pull. Real-time monitoring of pump operation will increase both the efficiency ...
Clean water is a basic necessity. Historically, broad access to potable water was a critical step in improving public health. Water is also a fundamental component in many industrial processes. Its unique properties and easy availability make it an ideal substance for tasks that involve dissolving and washing. To address public safety and broader environmental concerns, used water cannot go ...
In every part of the world, people depend on clean water to survive. Residents often take it for granted that they can use water from the faucet for drinking or cooking without further treatment. However, water contamination is a severe concern for municipal water systems. Extended boil water orders and stories of lead contamination raise worries about the safety of the supply. The EPA has ...
The changing climate is raising concerns about local water supplies. While some regions deal with heavy rainfall and flooding, others must endure chronic drought conditions. Water restrictions are one of the first responses to a dry season. It makes sense that limiting per capita water use would stretch the water supply. However, recent research by the Alliance for Water Efficiency has raised ...
