New Jersey Water Use Exceeding Supplies
When people think of water scarcity, arid regions such as Israel, Egypt, and Southern California may come to mind, but the availability of clean, potable water may also be endangered in unexpected places, including New Jersey. Residents in some areas of the Garden State are using “tens of millions of gallons” more water than the local watershed can support, and similar conditions are ...

Tackling Non-Revenue Water by Identifying Small Leaks
Small leaks sink big ships – the same can be said for large-diameter pipes in utility networks. While large leaks or ruptures are seen as newsworthy stories accompanied by images of water flowing down the streets; smaller leaks can often be more devastating. Left undetected, they can add up over time, contributing significantly to Non-Revenue Water, and eventually, they too can lead to ...

U.S. utilities increasing water reuse investment
Decreased technology costs are prompting more municipal water utilities in the United States to invest in new water reuse infrastructure. In fact, a new forecast projects more than $18 billion in water reuse and desalination projects are on tap in 17 states, according to Bluefield Research analysts. Although water scarcity is a conventional driver for this type of project, the analysts say the ...

Hole Dug, Leak Found - City Of Ottawa Entrusts Smartball Platform To Look For Leaks In Tranmsission Main
When your inspection task is to survey a critical pipeline for leaks, nothing is more satisfying than trusting your technology to predict the leak location and then standing by as the client excavates the area to find a flow of water within one meter of exactly where you said it would be. The above-described "leak-where-predicted" recently happened with the City of Ottawa, when Pure Technologies ...

Study: New Jersey Water Use Exceeding Supplies
In the seaside town of Cape May, New Jersey, overdraft of groundwater supplies led to saltwater intrusion of aquifers. In 1997, a brackish water desalination plant was built to deal with the problem. When people think of water scarcity, arid regions such as Israel, Egypt, and Southern California may come to mind, but the availability of clean, potable water may also be endangered in unexpected ...

Counting the Drops: Leak Detection and Auditing Methods for Property Managers
Leaks are never good, whether it’s a leaky boat or a leaky pipe system. Even advanced water utility systems can experience water loses ranging from 10 – 40%, with these losses being proportional to the population of the urban area serviced by the water distribution system. Large cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles are vulnerable to staggering amounts of water loss in ...

Seven ambitious missions to transform the future of water security
Currently, 1.42 billion people live in high or extremely high water-vulnerable areas. Water security is deeply intertwined with climate change, and without immediate and bold action, water availability will worsen. With a growing population, global water demand is projected to increase by 20–30% per year by 2050, which could leave even more people water insecure. Populations at the highest ...

What’s Labelling Got To Do With It?
It is well known that training machine learning models under supervised conditions requires significant data that is labelled in a systematic way. Once operational, these models can provide significant value to water utilities and communities. Though, what may not be so clear is the immediate benefits of labelling your water data. This post endeavours to shed some light on this topic. But first, ...

How targeted investments by private water can boost public support
A significant number of utilities in smaller regions operating where resources are strained, and where the daily business of water treatment can be exceedingly expensive, have turned to privately owned companies to manage their drinking water and wastewater operations. For municipalities, this provides extensive expertise and economies of scale that they typically couldn’t get on their own. ...
