The challenge of global water access monitoring: evaluating straight-line distance
versus self-reported travel time among rural households in MozambiqueSupport is growing for the incorporation of fetching time and/or distance considerations in the definition of access to improved water supply used for global monitoring. Current efforts typically rely on self-reported distance and/or travel time data that have been shown to be unreliable. To date, however, there has been no head-to-head comparison of such indicators with other possible ...

Drinking water quality monitoring using trend analysis
One of the common quality parameters for drinking water is residual aluminium. High doses of residual aluminium in drinking water or water used in the food industry have been proved to be at least a minor health risk or even to increase the risk of more serious health effects, and cause economic losses to the water treatment plant. In this study, the trend index is developed from scaled ...

Times are changing: Wastewater as a resource
Times are definitely changing. It used to be that wastewater from whatever source – domestic, agricultural, industrial – was something to collect and pipe away as quickly and efficiently as possible. There was more water coming out of the ground or falling from the sky, so why bother investing time and money cleaning water that had already been used? Now, thanks to issues like ...

Water Level Monitoring Using a Druck Depth/Level Sensor
In this Tech Article from CAS DataLoggers and dataTaker, we describe the process of connecting the Druck PTX 1830 depth/level sensor to a dataTaker DT8x series data logger. These two components can function as a water level monitoring logger and record depth measurements. The Druck sensor outputs a 4-20mA signal and can be powered by the dataTaker’s switchable 12V regulated voltage output. ...

A New Multilevel Ground Water Monitoring System Using Multichannel Tubing
A new multilevel ground water monitoring system has been developed that uses custom-extruded flexible 1.6-inch (4.1 cm) outside-diameter (O.D.) multichannel HDPE tubing (referred to as Continuous Multichannel Tubing™ or CMT) to monitor as many as seven discrete zones within a single borehole in either unconsolidated sediments or bedrock. Prior to inserting the tubing in the borehole, ports are ...

Hydrocarbon in Water Monitors using Fluorescence
Hydrocarbon in Water Monitors using Fluorescence are capable of detecting hydrocarbons as low as 5 Parts per Billion and as high as 10,000 Parts per Million depending on the application. Because only the target hydrocarbons will fluoresce, these monitors have no significant affect due to water turbidity (rust, dirt, gas bubbles, soot, etc.). Fluorescence monitors provide a measurement that is ...

Oil in Water Monitoring using Handheld UVF-500D Analyzer - Case Study
Decommisioning Offshore Oil Platforms in California Coal Oil Point in Santa Barbara, CA is a popular spot for surfers (above), with Platform Holly looming in the distance. This and a network of other oil platforms were permanently closed down after the 2015 pipeline spill at Refugio State Beach A contractor is using the UVF-500D to test oil in water on-site for plugging and abandonment ...

Evaluation of drinking water quality in a water supply distribution network based on Grey correlation analysis
The lack of access to clean drinking water adversely affects public health and life expectancy in many developing countries. However, not all cities' drinking water can currently meet drinking water standards. Therefore, determining reasonable water quality changes and the influence of various factors on water quality is important for improving drinking water quality. The objective of this study ...

Response of rock-fissure seepage to snowmelt in Mount Taihang slope-catchment, North China
The complex physiographic and hydrogeological systems of mountain terrains facilitate intense rock-fissure seepages and multi-functional ecological interactions. As mountain eco-hydrological terrains are the common water sources of river basins across the globe, it is critical to build sufficient understanding into the hydrological processes in this unique ecosystem. This study analyzes ...

Comparison of enterovirus and adenovirus concentration and enumeration methods in seawater from Southern California, USA and Baja Malibu, Mexico
Despite being important etiological agents of waterborne illness, the sources, transport and decay of human viruses in recreational waters are not well understood. This study examines enterovirus and adenovirus concentrations in coastal water samples collected from four beaches impacted by microbial pollution: (1) Malibu Lagoon, Malibu; (2) Tijuana River, Imperial Beach; (3) Baja Malibu, Baja ...

Coliform status of water bodies from two districts in Ghana, west Africa: implications for rural water resources management
Investigations were conducted on the total and faecal coliform status of streams, hand-dug wells and boreholes highly patronised by communities in the West Akim and Kwaebibirem Districts, Eastern Ghana. Total coliform values obtained range from 60–2,672 cfu, 0–680 cfu and 0–128 cfu for streams, hand-dug wells and boreholes, respectively. Faecal coliform values similarly range from 31–1,988 cfu, ...

Alert Labs and Water Matrix partner to save property managers millions of litres in wasted water
Business owners often seem to accept that any level of water usage is normal, not realizing that water is being wasted and that they are overpaying due to undetected inefficiencies. To help optimize water usage at residential and commercial properties, Alert Labs, manufacturer of smart building sensors and software, and Water Matrix, water conservation experts, announced their partnership today. ...

RTU based basin, canal and river level monitoring system - Case Study
Key Requirements: All installations require timely notification of rapidly changing conditions while minimising the cost of communications. Instead of the continual polling that is characteristic of SCADA systems, TBox devices use push technology to communicate only when necessary. Push technology best utilises inexpensive public networks and allows remote sites to operate on the least expensive ...

Comparative evaluation of runoff and water quality using HSPF and SWMM
Stormwater pollution is the untreated contaminated water that drains into natural waterways from land uses within an urban catchment. Several studies have demonstrated the deterioration of water quality in receiving bodies of water caused by stormwater runoff. The data have reported that urban runoff play primary roles in degrading water quality in adjacent aquatic systems. The accurate ...

Improved Water Management Propels Growth of Ontario Cheese Maker
Like all farmers, the Van Bergeijk family works hard from ‘sun up to sun down’ to run their farm in southwestern Ontario. Everything in the dairy farming operation is interconnected. They grow corn on their 325 hectare farm to feed 400 dairy cows. The cows produce 11,000 litres of milk a year. That milk is used to make the prize-winning Mountainoak Cheese. Besides the hard work, ...
