Affordable accuracy for water distribution monitoring
Non-revenue water (NRW) and other information gaps that have significant impact on operating costs are causing many water distribution utilities to seek affordable ways to gain greater insight into flow data. In this Q&A, Barry Spiegel, Director of Sales and Strategic Accounts for McCrometer, describes how full-profile insertion (FPI) electromagnetic flow meters (mag meters) can provide ...

Identifying water quality monitoring stations in a water supply system
Despite good quality assurance and conformance to the standards at the treatment plants, water quality could vary considerably within the distribution network. As water flows through the pipe network, its quality undergoes various transformations due to many factors such as the properties of the finished water, pipe materials, water temperature, water age and low level of disinfectant ...

Topological clustering as a tool for planning water quality monitoring in water distribution networks
Topological clustering was explored as a tool for water supply utilities in preparation of monitoring and contamination contingency plans. A complex water distribution network model of Copenhagen, Denmark, was simplified by topological clustering into recognizable water movement patterns to: (1) identify steady clusters for a part of the network where an actual contamination has occurred; (2) ...

Effects of plumbing systems on human exposure to disinfection byproducts in water: a case study
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in water distribution systems (WDS) are monitored for regulatory compliance, while populations are exposed to DBPs in tap water that may be different due to stagnation of water in plumbing pipes (PP) and heating in hot water tanks (HWT). This study investigated the effects of water stagnation in PP and HWT on exposure and risk of DBPs to humans. Trihalomethanes ...

Unpacking the energy implications of distributed water infrastructure: how are rainwater systems performing?
Drought and concern over climate change has led to the increased use of distributed water systems in Australia to supplement centralised supply systems. A literature review carried out by the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) into the energy consumption of water infrastructure found that very little data on energy consumption exists, particularly for distributed systems. This paper reviews ...

Testing and developing energy harvester systems for operation of energy-self-sufficient measurement and control units in drinking water supply
In recent years, wireless measurement and control units have become more popular for monitoring water distribution systems in the drinking water supply. Electric power supply for a higher number of devices through fixed connections to the public electrical grid is technically complex and requires large investments. Powering monitoring devices, which are installed in areas where electrical ...

Monitoring Pressure in a Water Distribution System
Municipal residents depend on a well-functioning water distribution system to meet their daily needs. They expect to turn the tap and have an uninterrupted supply of clean, freshwater. To achieve this goal, water and wastewater systems require constant monitoring. Inconsistent water pressure can have serious consequences down the line. ...

Actionable Data Outcomes from a Rising Main Monitoring Programme - Case Study
Following successful learnings from monitoring transients on water distribution networks, Anglian Water and Syrinix looked to see if there was an opportunity to transfer this knowledge across to wastewater ‘rising mains.’ Across the UK water industry monitoring of rising mains is limited and even less common is a partnership approach to analysing and developing the data. Pressure ...

Framework for water quality monitoring system in water distribution networks based on vulnerability and population sensitivity risks
Delivering water in sufficient quantity and acceptable quality is the main objective of water distribution networks (WDN) and at the same time is the main challenge. Many factors affect the delivery of water through distribution networks. Some of these factors are relevant to water quality, quantity and the condition of the infrastructure itself. The deterioration of water quality in the WDN ...

Implementation of an on-line artificial intelligence district meter area flow meter data analysis system for abnormality detection: a case study
Faster detection of bursts saves water, minimises the inconvenience of interruption to customers and decreases the damaging consequences to infrastructure. Flow monitoring techniques are used by water service providers to monitor leakage, generally through offline application of mass balance type calculations and manual observations of change in night line values. This paper presents the ...

Controlling and monitoring Malaysia’s largest water distribution network - Case Study
Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS) in Malaysia is the sole water distribution company supplying water to industrial and domestic users in the state of Selangor and the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. SYABAS relies heavily on a network of TBox remote telemetry units (RTU) relaying information to their SCADA system to provide real-time monitoring and control of ...

Tools for monitoring distribution system water quality: a study using four parallel pilot systems
Monitoring and understanding water quality changes within the distribution system is essential to enable effective management to provide good quality water at the customer tap. A recent 2-year study utilised four parallel pilot distribution systems (PDS) and a range of simple tools to assess the impact improving treatment had on the water quality within the distribution system. Particle ...

Water Flow Monitoring Helps Avoid Costly Fines
Water Distribution Company Refines Pumping System Many water distribution companies use a similar process for Water Flow Monitoring: Collect water from a well with the help of water pumps, utilize a pond or reservoir to temporarily store the water and maintain a loading center to fill water trucks for transport. The problem is how to pump the maximum allowable volume of water on a day-to-day ...

Data Analysis Isolates Water Main Breaks
To address pipe break problems within its distribution system, Missouri American Water (MOAW) worked with a monitoring and analysis company to find the causes and solutions, ultimately giving the utility valuable insights. MOAW serves approximately 1.5 million customers in Missouri. The utility owns and operates a network serving St. Louis County, as well as portions of St. Charles and Jefferson ...

Spatial distribution characteristics of polycyclic musks as a chemical marker in river water and sediment compared with other typical pollutants
Polycyclic musks (PMs), widely used in the cosmetic and perfume industries, are gaining attention as a new type of persistent organic pollutant (POP). The related contamination in developing countries, such as China, where the use of these compounds is increasing, needs to be closely monitored. This work systematically studied the distribution profile (water-suspended ...

Modeling and analysis of chlorine dioxide, chlorite, and chlorate propagation in a drinking water distribution system
The drinking water distribution system of Cremona, in the north of Italy, was monitored for 6 years (2006–2011) analyzing chlorine dioxide, chlorite, and chlorate concentrations. The software Epanet 2.0 (USEPA) was applied to the distribution system. The mixing zone of the water coming from the two drinking water treatment plants, respectively located to the west and east of the city, was ...

Monitoring of chlorination disinfection by-products and their associated health risks in drinking water of Pakistan
This study reports the baseline data of chlorination disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and their associated health risks in the water distribution network of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. THM monitoring was carried out at 30 different sampling sites across the twin cities for 6 months. The average concentration of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and chloroform ranged ...

Time lapse resistivity/IP survey case study
Changes in underground electric resistivity is typically resulted by the variations in groundwater conduction and soil water content. Monitoring this variation will help operator gain a better understanding of the underground water distribution over time. This may facilitates operators monitor abnormal underground or structural behaviour. Time lapse resistivity survey is therefore very useful ...
