Water Management

Wachs Water Services announced that it has recently been awarded several multi-year contracts to inspect up to 4,000 miles of critical water mains for leaks in Connecticut and Texas.

As the saying goes, ?The more you peel an onion, the more you discover.? The same can be said for selecting and deploying an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system.

The technology for extracting groundwater from subsurface resources hasn?t advanced appreciably since drillers abandoned shovels and buckets for mechanized well drilling rigs.

America?s economic dominance as a world power over the past several decades has been based on the strength and investment in its critical infrastructure.

With the tremendous cost associated with the treatment and distribution of water, many water districts are going solar for protection from rising electricity costs.

One of the great ironies in the water industry ? in addition to the central irony that we generally pay so little for something of such irreplaceable value ? is the fact that so many cities are in desperate need of investment in infrastructure while so much money is available, but seemingly just out of reach.

A total of 16,961 water professionals and 923 exhibiting companies from around the world attended WEFTEC 2011?the Water Environment Federation?s (WEF) 84th annual Technical Exhibition and Conference Oct. 16-19 in Los Angeles.

Echologics, a developer and leading provider of acoustic-based technologies for water loss management, leak detection and pipe condition assessment, secured a three-year master services agreement with United Water.

RedZone Robotics, Inc. announced the acquisition of Cleanflow Systems, a leading provider of wastewater condition assessment technologies based in New Zealand. RedZone is a leading designer and manufacturer of robotic wastewater inspection technologies and related analytic and decision-support tools, serving municipalities, contractors, and engineering firms.

Sustainable infrastructure systems have been increasingly discussed in recent years. But perhaps just as important is resiliency. How quickly can a water system bounce back after an incident? It comes down to planning and preparation.
