Presence of Waddlia chondrophila in hot water systems from non-domestic buildings in France
The presence of Waddlia chondrophila has been related to respiratory tract infections and human and animal fetal death. Although several sources of infection have been suggested, the actual source remains unknown and limited information exists on the prevalence of W. chondrophila in the environment. This pathogen has been previously detected in well water but its presence has not been ...

Stratification & water age issues in drinking water - Case study
Overview: Customer was performing seismic retrofits on two potable water reservoirs and wanted to add active mixing as part of the overall project. Tank volumes are 500,000 to 750,000 gallons with each tank having a common inlet / outlet. Both are part of a non-treated system (no added chemicals). Condition: Large temperature stratification and water age issues especially in summertime ...

Ultrasonic algae control solutions to treat smaller water areas
Algae has an import function in nature, it provides food and energy for animal life, and much of the earth’s oxygen. However, an excess of algae can be hazardous to both humans and animals. Research has demonstrated that ultrasound can be an effective method of controlling algal blooms. Ultrasonic algae control solutions: the differences There are various ultrasonic algae control ...

Water sensors and hydrological monitoring systems
Background: Flooding could become a nightmare as businesses begin to return to work after months of stay-at-home management.If a storm causes your building to flood, you could lose power and need to move. That's what happened in May after four days of heavy rain flooded a basement in the Chicago area.From this we can see that the use of water sensors and related equipment is very important. Many ...

Genetic algorithm-based optimization of water resources allocation under drought conditions
The efficient allocation of increasingly scarce water resources is a growing challenge worldwide, particularly during times of drought. This paper describes the development and application of an innovative technique to optimize the allocation of raw water supply to the city of London, UK during a period of drought in 2006. Using genetic algorithms, an optimization tool was developed to derive ...

Optimal operation efficiency and control of water pumps in multiple water reservoir system: case study in Korea
Pumping regimes for water distribution systems have been established to reduce pump operation costs. Optimization of water reservoir networks has been studied extensively for operating pumps efficiently. According to research, optimization reduces pump operation costs by approximately 10–20%. However, comparing economic benefits per country would be too complex because the effects ...

Solar-Powered Circulation Technology Clears Out Blue-Green Algae without the Costs and Hazards of Copper Sulfate
Untitled Document As the annual onslaught of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms continues to plague fresh water lakes and reservoirs, the use of copper sulfate to control the problem has become dubious. After 50 years of pouring innumerable tons of copper into lakes and reservoirs, the use of this algaecide has increased resistance and resulted in consequential ...
