Purposes for IR 1550
Infrared (IR) has been around for almost two centuries. It was first discovered by Sir William Herschel in the 1800s. The invisible wavelength is relevant to everyday living, since many scientists believe that over 50 percent of the Sun’s energy that makes it to Earth arrives in the form of IR. Today, IR is applied in medical, telecommunication and industrial sectors. Some of the most ...

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 ...
