On December 20, 2024, the UK government revised draft Water Resources Management Plans (WRMP24), explicitly positioning smart water metering as a core strategy. ...
It is a critical time for water resource management, which is facing a series of major challenges including climate change. This phenomenon is generating longer periods of drought and more intense rainfall. Tackling this issue, along with the problems of demographic growth and urban development, poses multiple challenges in different areas for water management authorities, which call for answers ...

While many reservoirs measure level and flow, few consider the full topography of underwater sediments that accumulate over time, reducing storage capacity and impacting water quality. LG Sonic uniquely provides bathymetry analysis through remote sensing to determine water depth and topography of underwater terrain, including both historical data and predictions ...
As Europe swelters in unprecedented summer heat, water stress is a major and growing concern. The same is true for many places across the globe. The need for more water storage is obvious but simply building more dams is not the solution. Growing populations and economic development are driving the need for more water storage globally. Climate change – modified rainfall patterns, increased ...
The Europe water crisis is an escalating issue that’s garnering global attention. As water availability dwindles, the impacts on human existence, economic development and ecological preservation are becoming more pronounced. This articles discusses in detail this critical topic. We’ll explore how dwindling reservoirs across European countries like southern Portugal and northern Italy ...
New plant opens as Egypt launches plan to quadruple its desalination capacity Several African countries are turning to desalination and other alternative water resources amid growing water scarcity compounded by climate change and increasing human pressure on natural resources. Water-scarce ...
According to Idrica, monitoring and efficient management of water aquifers, increasing the efficiency of distribution systems, water reuse, the use of non-conventional resources, early warning systems for extreme events and for citizens are the main solutions. Technology is key to addressing inefficient water ...

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters that affects millions of people across India each year. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), India faces nearly 7,000 flood-related incidents annually, impacting lives, property, and critical infrastructure. In the face of growing climate unpredictability, traditional flood control methods such as embankments and ...
The UK cities facing the highest risks of water stress by 2040 have been revealed, with Lancaster in Lancashire emerging as the most likely to experience water-related issues by then, in line with climate change, population growth and water usage and consumption habits. ...
The study was commissioned by MOSL on behalf of the Strategic Panel’s Metering Committee and comes at a critical time for the water industry, with investment plans for the next asset management period now being developed, as well as water resource management plans. Proposals submitted by ...
In the design of water networks ‘peaking factors’ are used for simulating design flows in hydraulic models. In simple terms, the dimensionless peaking factor is maximum over average consumption. Historically, utilities adopted standardized peaking factors based on their source data (treatment plant etc.) which was the most reliable source of data. But as we enter the world of big ...
Estephan, (905-791-7800 ext. 4339) Infrastructure Planning and Studies-Growth, Groundwater and Source Water Protection, 10 Peel Centre Drive, Brampton, ON L6T 4B9 In March, 2019 Earthfx was contracted by the Region of Peel to develop a fully integrated GSFLOW surface water/groundwater model of the entire region. This project, referred to as the ...

The National Water Quality Management Strategy (NWQMS) is the body through which water quality standards are developed in Australia. ...
These standards are developed and maintained by the Division of Water Resource's Classifications, Standards & Rules Review Branch. ...
Their main goal was to map existing water points and water access in the city of Kumba, Cameroon and deal with dislocated water sources and nonfunctional taps, to ensure access to safe water resources. ...
Water scarcity and regulatory pressure are leading to more remote monitoring of leakage, says Alan Cunningham, technical director, Ovarro, and technological advances and human resource challenges mean that might be about to accelerate. Global water resources are finite and stretched and the application of advanced leakage ...

In the book ‘Thinking in Systems’, Donella Meadows describes the importance of defining a system’s boundary in order to answer key questions. In centralised water systems, defining boundaries can be achieved using the location of flow meters. In broad terms data locations are referred to as: Source –the dam, river or treatment plant Network –pump stations, pipes ...
Accurate forecasting of daily streamflow is essential for water resource planning and management. As a typical non-stationary time series, it is difficult to avoid the effects of noise in the hydrological data. ...
Freshwater is a key resource and medium for various economic sectors and domestic purposes but its use is often at the expense of natural ecosystems. Water management must change to deal with urgent issues and protect aquatic ecosystems and their services, while addressing the demand for water from the competing claims for cities, ...
