How-to Successfully Digitize your Water Supply System
May 5, 2023
The promise of Digital/Smart Water – real-time data collection, visualizing current and past operational status, tracking and analyzing key performance indicators, protecting critical infrastructure, controlling and optimizing system performance, integrating state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to identify trends, predicting and improving overall outcomes - is here. Whether you’re an agricultural concern, irrigation district, or public water system, with today’s smart technology, all this is not only possible, but economical, with quick start-up and short payback periods, while supporting integration of legacy systems.
Pressing water supply challenges, drought, loss of experienced workforce, supply chain shortages, aging infrastructure to name a few, are fueling the digital transformation. That said, the road to success is littered with failures, so having the right process, support, and systems are critical.

SMART WATER -
Addressing the Challenges of
Groundwater Asset Management
August 18, 2022
Municipal and agricultural groundwater supply systems represent tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars of capital investment and require significant recurring resources to operate and maintain. Water supply professionals and their service providers face enormous and growing challenges operating and maintaining this infrastructure. Click the link below for our white paper discussing how SMART WATER systems can help.
Pump Overload, Failure and High Repair Cost Avoidance by Smart Monitoring
August 14, 2022
A powerful incentive for the adoption of Smart Water systems
is to warn and prevent water system failure, water loss at critical times, and excessive operating and capital cost outlays. The causes of overload are many, but the common precipitators are: (1) declining aquifer pumping levels where minimum positive suction head is no longer met and cavitation occurs, as well as (2) pump and driver misalignment, and (3) mechanical wear and failure.
Smart Water for Operational Efficiency, Resiliency, and Sustainability
January 7, 2022
Groundwater monitoring and analytics are at the heart of optimizing operations, improved ROI, and sustainable groundwater management. Smart Water systems provide the foundation for understanding past and current conditions, as well as predictive analysis. Today’s smart water technologies build on monitoring capabilities, offering groundwater supply managers data-driven intelligence to improve operational efficiency, resiliency, and sustainability efforts.
Flow Meter Errors Are Common, Costly and Preventable
December 16, 2021
An integrated Smart Water system is an effective platform for uncovering costly flow meter errors by exposing mismatches between, inter alia, measured flows, power usage and pump system design. Over read meter flows undermine well production plans, distort operational efficiencies, and bias regulatory reports that could lead to unfavorable actions against future water exploitation.
Vibration Analytics Will Save Mega-Dollars in Costly Repairs and Downtime
December 6, 2021
An IoT vibration sensor enables users to monitor the condition of equipment on a continuous basis. The key data provided from the vibration sensors at the wellhead of a Smart Water system allows operators and analysts to identify trends and abnormalities, and then take corrective action if equipment repair is indicated. The monitoring process helps by pre-empting unscheduled equipment failure and costly system downtime and repairs.
Why Invest in Smart Water?
November 27, 2021
The ROI and improved performance are huge!
The astute buyer does not need to be reminded of the finite nature of water resources, droughts and scarcity of supply, aging infrastructure, rising costs and operations risks. These buyers know their business environment and are constantly aware of the ecological and market fundamentals of water. Less certain is how to acquire the information needed to manage water supply, spending and risk.
