Intelligent Water Systems

Jun 22, 2020

Identify, evaluate, and communicate best practices for the application of advanced sensing technologies and networks to improve compliance strategies and efficiency of operations and watershed management. This research area builds on recent and current work by others and evaluates the effectiveness of available and future technology and networks through demonstrations. This effort helps develop and maximize the capacity to use the vast amount of data generated to support water facilities as they transition to utilities of the future—improving the quality and services of drinking water and wastewater as well as ecosystem health.
