Digital Twins: Bringing The Future To Water Management

The current scenario of uncertainty has accelerated the adoption of digital twins in the water sector. Their application in drinking water distribution, sanitation and sewerage systems is picking up speed across the globe. In 2022, and over the next few years, digital twins are set to be one of the most widely used tools to tackle new challenges.

Yet, digital twins are no longer just a good idea for the future. In fact, many of the most innovative international utilities have already...

A team of scientists at the Tufts University School of Engineering has developed a new filtering technology. Inspired by biology, it could help curb a drinking water-related disease that affects tens of millions of people worldwide and potentially improve environmental remediation, industrial and chemical production, and mining, among other processes.

Reporting in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers demonstrated that their novel polymer membranes can...

A Study from UC San Diego Shows Covid-19 Can Be Detected In A Single Asymptomatic Person Through Wastewater Surveillance even if that person is living or working in a multi-unit dwelling. Wastewater surveillance can detect a case up to 3 to 4 days before individual testing can. Wastewater surveillance is an underused yet cost-effective, non-invasive mass testing strategy.

As one of four initial corporations joining the district, Delta integrated a broad range...

SEOUL -- LG Uplus will work with the state-run Korea Institute of Robot and Convergence (KIRO) to develop smart farm robots using 5G technologies. With rapid advances in sensor and computer technologies, there have been growing demands for autonomous equipment. The mobile carrier has expanded the use of its service and technology to smart farms and agricultural machinery.

For real-time video transmission and precise location information, LG Uplus (U+) said it would provide a low latency...

A bastion of labor-intensive tasks are now been opened to machine capabilities


According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 7,000 hydrologist jobs in the US in 2019. Many of those individuals continue to spend much of their time in the field performing water sampling tasks. With average salaries above $80,000 annually, the cost of all those sampling activities adds up quickly. And hydrologists aren’t the only ones tasked with performing such sampling.

In April 2017, the UK’s water retail market in the world opened for business – the single biggest change to the water sector since privatisation. This development allowed businesses, charities and public sector organisations to shop around for the best deal.
However, like any industry, this change hasn’t been without its sticking points; here, Paul Williams, CTO at Everflow Tech (pictured far right), discusses how retailers can harness technology to their advantage

The National Weather Service mainly uses an automated surface observing system, which measures temperatures electronically and averages them over five minutes.

“It has a tendency to moderate out a spike one way or another that could adversely impact a temperature record. So it’s actually probably a little harder to set all-time record high temperatures these days than it would have been back in 1881,” Turner says.

Bond says that with automation now, user error is...
