The business of water is getting more complex every day, but with this complexity comes an opportunity to improve efficiencies that are bound to reduce consumption of this vital resource while simultaneously improving utility bottom lines and creating more satisfied customers. This session will cover topics that you can take back to your organization today to start seeing the benefits of today’s rapidly evolving water technology landscape.
2. Obejective- The advances in data and technology have given Wastewater/Water agencies the ability to better predict and act on day-to-day occurrences within their wastewater collection system. This presentation reviews how these utilities can adopt unique monitoring technology, which can provide data in the field they did not have before. The monitors can now mount directly on the manhole covers – thereby eliminating the need for a confined space entry – while utilizing ultrasonic/pressure sensors to monitor water levels and estimate flows. By utilizing an onboard battery, data is collected and automatically sent to a secure website via satellite, where the utility can view the data and make more informed decisions within their wastewater collection system.
