Methodology of functionality selection for water management software and examples of its application
When developing new software products and adapting existing software, project leaders have to decide which functionalities to keep, adapt or develop. They have to consider that the cost of making errors during the specification phase is extremely high. In this paper a formalised approach is proposed that considers the main criteria for selecting new software functions. The application of this ...

Experiences and lessons learned from practical implementation of a software-supported Water Safety Plan (WSP) approach
The Water Safety Plan (WSP) is considered the preferred approach to ensure drinking water safety by the World Health Organization (WHO). This approach ideally requires extensive scientific and technical input from a multidisciplinary team of experts. However, in small- and medium-sized municipalities in Austria, financial and personnel resources are usually of very limited availability. ...

A practitioner’s perspective on the uses and future developments for wastewater treatment modelling
The modern age of wastewater treatment modelling began with publication of the International Water Association (IWA) Activated Sludge Model (ASM) No.1 and has advanced significantly since. Models are schematic representations of systems that are useful for analysis to support decision-making. The most appropriate model for a particular application often incorporates only those components ...

Why sustainability practitioners need to embrace big data (rather than be scared of it)
The outcome of the 2012 presidential election in the US, which saw President Barack Obama fight to win a second term against the Republican Mitt Romney, was uncertain. Obama’s record-breaking fundraising was no guarantee of success in the face of challenging domestic issues such as how the US would respond to the economic downturn or the future of the Affordable Care Act. But one man did ...

Age of data driven leak management dawns
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 management technologies is one way to ensure supply and demand balances ...

Drive Operational Efficiency with Water and Wastewater Digitization
Any organization with a long history is bound to resist change. Most municipal water systems have been in place for decades, and many of their processes reflect the technology of earlier periods. They may still use paper requisition forms or manually log system information into spreadsheets. Inefficient processes increase costs and are prone to human error. As water utilities deal with aging ...

Water Technology: Five advantages of implementation
Water technology has gone from being an idea of the future to a real need. The current global water situation requires intelligent solutions which can tackle the challenges that lie ahead. Against this backdrop, the use of ad-hoc software multiplies the efficiency of water utilities. By water technology, we refer to innovative solutions designed to improve the management of all or part of the ...
