TRANSFORMING WATER LOSS INTO A WATER RESOURCE

By Ben Shenkar Presenting a revolutionary new paradigm for repairing distribution Networks with losses, from 25% and above, from within the pipe without the need for leak detection and excavation. Leaks creating water loss in pressurized urban water distribution pipes run rampant both in the developed part of the globe and for India as well, where leakage levels can, in some cases, top even 50% of the water that is distributed. This widespread phenomenon has traditionally been ignored or, at best, token efforts have been made to reduce visual breaks…

HDR ENSURES SAFE OPERATIONS AT DIABLO DAM WITH A DIGITAL TWIN

Employment of Artificial Intelligence and Engineering Data, Helps Improving Maintenance and Decision-making. Seeking to Prevent Dam Disasters In February 2017, heavy rainfall in northern California overwhelmed the Oroville Dam. Officials discovered that erosion over time caused a crater to form in the main spillway, limiting the amount of water that could be discharged and contributing to Lake Oroville’s rising water level. As a result, water flowed over the previously unused emergency spillway, causing significant ground erosion and damage to the dam. Since the dam faced the possibility of collapse, more…

HIDROING DEVELOPS SMART WATER SOLUTIONS FOR 144-YEAR-OLD WATER SUPPLY NETWORK INZAGREB, CROATIA

Open Flows and Open Utilities save 16 Months when Delivering One of the Largest Digital Twins in Eastern Europe Modernizing One of the World’s Oldest Water Supply Systems Originally constructed in 1878, the 144- year-old Zagreb water supply system is one of the oldest functioning water networks in the world. At that time, the capacity of the constructed system was 53.2 liters per second via a 4-kilometerlong pipeline that provides water to 11,150 of the 30,000 inhabitants in Zagreb, the capital and largest city of Croatia. ViO Zagreb has been…

GEO-ENABLED AUTOMATION FOR BETTER MANAGEMENT

By Agendra Kumar About 80% of the water data has the context of location associated with it, and by not tapping this hidden power in the larger context of the water ecosystem we are denying ourselves its numerous benefits. Much has been talked about the precarious water situation we are likely to have, in the next few years, and hence the urgent need for an integrated water resource management that addresses the entire water value chain from source to tap holistically is the need of the hour. It is no…
