WaterFront is proud to bring you a new series on Demand Forecasting and Rate Sensitivity. This first post is a light introduction to the topic and will follow with more technical examples via case studies from John Cook and Edwin Roehl of Advanced Data Mining (ADMI). I hope you enjoy. Why Demand Varies Customer demand … Continue reading
Recently, the CIPAC working group came out with their conclusions and recommendations on contamination warning systems – mainly the need is there, the technology exists, there is not a one size fits all system, and to make the business case we should look into the dual use of these systems to build an ROI model … Continue reading
In this penultimate version of this blog on the resistance to the effective use of instrumentation Oliver Grievson probes into why the fact that instrumentation in general is a lack of trust in instrumentation in general which prevents instrumentation, control & automation taking a step forward and treatment works becoming more instrumentally based. The modern … Continue reading
Here is the latest post in the series “Using Data to Optimize Processes,” by Ruby Daamen and John Cook from ADMI. As has been demonstrated from previous articles in this series, data can be used to build process models for both natural systems such as rivers, estuaries and groundwater movement over expansive areas, but can … Continue reading
Can something as simple as the water bill have a real impact on water conservation? Well that depends on if all the pieces of the puzzle come together to make the billing information a powerful tool.
