As the water industry aims to enhance conservation efforts, build resilience and usher in a smarter future for the UK’s water supply, the pivotal role of smart water meters cannot be overstated. We explore how important it is for the water sector to learn from the energy industry’s successes in the smart meter rollout, including the need for better designs in installation efforts and strategic investments to achieve long-term goals. #ClimateChange #WaterIndustry #CustomerEngagement

Researchers have shown a transition to green wastewater treatment approaches in the US that leverages the potential of carbon financing. Switching to green wastewater infrastructure could save a staggering $15.6bn and just under 30 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions over 40 years. #GreenWastewater #CarbonFinancing #Infrastructure #CarbonEmissions Click the link below to discover more ⬇ https://bit.ly/4cQSwcp

Ensuring Clean Water for All: The Imperative of Water Distribution Network Optimization Water is life's elixir, and access to clean water is a fundamental right. But, ensuring a reliable supply can be challenging, particularly when dealing with aged and encrusted pipelines. Monitoring the Health of Our Infrastructure: Aging and encrusted pipelines are a silent menace. They not only reduce water quality but also hamper supply reliability. As we acknowledge World Water Day, it's essential to shed light on the importance of monitoring and optimizing our water distribution networks. Strategies for Improvement: Asset Management: As recommended by the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA), adopt a proactive approach by continuously assessing and maintaining infrastructure. This reduces leaks and ensures a reliable supply. Technology Integration: Embrace IoT and data analytics, a strategy endorsed by the CWWA, to monitor pipeline conditions in real-time. This can detect issues early and optimize maintenance efforts. Water Quality Control: Implement advanced water treatment processes, following the CWWA's guidance, to combat encrustation and improve water quality. Invest in R&D: Support research and innovation, as emphasized by the CWWA, to find eco-friendly materials and methods for pipeline construction and rehabilitation. Community Involvement: Engage with local communities, as suggested by the CWWA, to raise awareness about water conservation and the importance of a well-maintained network. Determining When to Replace Pipelines: Replacing pipelines is crucial to maintain water quality and reliability. Some methods include: Pipeline Condition Assessment: Regular inspections and condition assessments can help determine the state of a pipeline. Factors like corrosion, structural integrity, and encrustation are key indicators. Age and Material Analysis: Assess the age and material of the pipeline. Older materials may be more prone to issues, and replacement might be necessary. Leak Detection and Repair History: Frequent leaks and repairs can be a sign that the pipeline is nearing the end of its life cycle. Hydraulic Performance: Evaluate the hydraulic performance of the pipeline. If it can no longer meet the demands of the community, replacement may be necessary. Sources: 1.

Bluefield has sized and forecasted the 2024–2030 market for water & wastewater assets (i.e., treatment, pipes, lift/pump stations, and storage tanks) in 31 European countries. European countries are investing in renewing and maintaining aging #water & #wastewater systems to decrease non-revenue water and increase efficiency. Investments are allocated for #watersupply management and wastewater treatment, with a priority to reduce energy consumption by integrating #smarttechnology, sensors, and #dataanalytics for better monitoring and control. 3 key takeaways: 1. Southern and eastern European countries are focusing on infrastructure issues and challenges related to drought as well as enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency. 2. The Nordic region aims to make primary #waterinfrastructure more resilient by focusing on strategic works and interventions on large drinking water aqueducts. 3. The U.K. has pledged to assure #watersecurity by doubling its #capitalinvestment in this sector by 2025.

The implementation of technology in smart buildings to improve water management not only reduces water consumption but can also have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the amount of wastewater and energy use involved in its treatment. In addition, it can also reduce the costs associated with water consumption, as well as enhance the energy efficiency and overall performance of the building.

Cities started thinking smaller to provide potable water Why it matters: Experts say the processes by which nature purifies water can be imitated by cities on a smaller scale than centralized municipal water systems. That means some cities are thinking smaller, with treatment and reclamation projects in close proximity to both users and sources. Samsies with energy: The same decentralized approach is also taking hold in the power sector as distributed energy resources (DERs) that provide locally generated power are sometimes preferred over power brought in via miles and miles of transmission lines.
