Assessment of domestic consumption in intermittent water supply networks: case study of Puerto Ayora (Galápagos Islands)
Intermittent water distribution systems are a stark reality in developing countries. Puerto Ayora, the centre of tourism of the Galápagos Archipelago, is not an exception, with its population and tourists suffering from scarce water resources. However, the extreme per capita consumptions, well above those in 24/7 supply situations in many other countries, contradict the (sense of) scarcity. ...

Measuring Static Water Levels Made Easier with Eno Scientific
The Well Sounder 2010 PRO is a sonic water level meter, designed and manufactured by Eno Scientific, to measure static water level in wells, piezometers or boreholes. This portable handheld unit uses sound waves to measure the distance from the top of the well to the water level. This eliminates the need to lower anything into the well. Unlike standard water level tapes these acoustic meters are ...

The Case for Non-Household Enhanced Metering Technology
Smart meters are now widely available for domestic customers to help them track their water usage and consumption, but it’s possible that there could be far-reaching benefits for businesses and the environment, as well, if the technology were rolled out so non-household customers too could make use of it. A new study, carried out by Artesia Consulting and reported on by MOSL, has found ...

Water Stress: Most at-Risk UK Cities Revealed
The UK cities facing the highest risks of water stress by 2040 have been revealed, with Lancaster in Lancashire emerging as the most likely to experience water-related issues by then, in line with climate change, population growth and water usage and consumption habits. Carried out by Sanctuary Bathrooms, the study – reported on by the Scotsman – found that Northampton, Peterborough, ...

Seal The Deal: Shielding against a Mag meter`s Achilles Heel
When it comes to metering water flow — drinking water or wastewater — full-bore mag meters offer many advantages. While the underlying technology based on Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction (Figure 1) is shared among all styles of full-bore mag meters, specific implementations have impacts on longevity and accuracy. Here is what to look for when the time to choose ...

Preventing & Thawing Frozen Pipes
A “how-to” guide on preventing and thawing frozen pipes. As temperatures drop below freezing around the country, it’s important to be informed of the cold weather’s effect on your water pipes. When temperatures are below freezing, pipes in unheated areas are subject to freezing causing messy, and often expensive issues. Just one burst pipe running at 4-8 gallons/min can ...

12 strategies for moving from water scarcity to abundance
How did a country that’s 60 percent desert achieve water security? In about 10 years, beginning shortly after the new century, Israel went from scarcity of water and fear of drought to abundance and independence from climate conditions. This dramatic change was made possible by the 70 years that preceded it in which a cadre of often brilliant engineers, scientists and policy-makers ...

Water softeners fact sheet
What is hard water? According to a recent U.S. Geological Survey, 85 percent of the United States’ geography has hard water. Hard water is water that contains certain naturally occurring minerals, particularly magnesium and calcium. Hard water causes many problems in a home, including deposits in sinks and bathtubs and gummed-up pipes in home plumbing systems and water-using appliances. ...

Monitoring groundwater resources for Municipalities - Case Study
Background The City of Tucson is located in the Sonoran Desert in southwest United States (U.S.), approximately 100 km north of the Mexico-U.S. border. Tucson Water operates more than 215 groundwater wells, covering more than 300 square miles, providing more than 37 billion gallons (140 million m3) of potable water to its 730,000 inhabitants each year. The region receives only 12 inches of rain ...

Groundwater Contamination Plume Remediation - Case Study
19 CMT Multilevel Systems Successfully Installed in Challenging A facility in Pontypool, Wales, UK was once the location of a plastic forming plant. Over time, chemicals produced through the plastic forming processes were lost into the groundwater beneath the facility, creating a large contaminant plume. Years later it was determined that the plume is migrating off site. In order to intercept ...

Sheaf Filter Reduces Pre-Treatment Stages at Maagan Desalination Plant
Background: Maagan Michael desalination plant employs reverse osmosis membranes (RO), treating 16 million cubic meters of water annually. The water is sourced from 24 brackish water wells with ~2000 ppm chloride as Cland some heavy metals e.g., magnesium (140 ppm as Mg2+ ). A pilot of a single Sheaf filter was conducted using a mix of the brackish water wells directly. The plant currently uses 2 ...

Innovative Multi-Media Filter – Continuous Backwash Filter
The disadvantages of conventional MMF based pretreatment Conventional pretreatment is based on multimedia filters (MMF) implemented in large scale desalination plants. Although this filtration method is well proven and provides reliable filtration efficiency, it conceals an inherent drawback, the disadvantages of which relate mainly to the backwashing mechanism. The pretreatment includes ...

Low Flow Groundwater Sampling Using RotaPump Inertial Lift Pump
This article tells you how to perform low flow groundwater sampling using a portable, surface-mounted pump with no decontamination required before each use and no chance of cross contamination between wells. An inertial lift pump moves a dedicated (stored in the well) pumping tube rapidly up and down. A one-way valve on the bottom admits water on the down stroke and retains water on the ...

Falling water tables` knock-on effect on falling harvests
Scores of countries are overpumping aquifers as they struggle to satisfy their growing water needs. The drilling of millions of irrigation wells has pushed water withdrawals beyond recharge rates, in effect leading to groundwater mining. The failure of governments to limit pumping to the sustainable yield of aquifers means that water tables are now falling in countries that contain more than half ...
