NEWS US BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DELIVERS $1.2 MILLION IN GRANTS Coachella Valley Salt and Nutrient Management Plan. In addition, they will develop water management tools to model and forecast nitrate and total dissolved solids to sustainably manage salt and nutrient loading in the basin to protect its beneficial uses. The Rancho California Water District in Temecula, California, will receive $200,000 to create better hydrologic data for the Murrieta-Temecula Groundwater Basin by developing a new water management tool for improving basin management efficiency. In addition, they will add new remote sensing equipment to their 26 wells within the Pauba Valley. The United States Bureau of Reclamation is investing $1.2 million in eight external applied science projects that will develop tools and information to support water management. The projects selected include the development of modelling and forecasting tools, hydrologic data platforms and new data sets to inform decision-making. “Having the accurate data and quality information is essential for water managers to make critical and timely decisions. We must ensure that we are supply smart,” said David Palumbo, deputy commissioner. “Applied science grants support improving water management tools so water managers can make informed decisions and improve their management of water, especially in times of prolonged drought and climate change.” In Arizona, the Nature Conservancy with the Yavapai-Apache Nation will receive $64,273 to collaborate with watershed stakeholders in the Verde River Basin Integrated Hydrologic Modeling Project. They will seek to refine and improve an existing hydrologic modeling tool for the Upper and Middle Verde River Basins in Yavapai County, Arizona. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in Riverside County, California, will receive $55,000 in conjunction with the Agua Caliente Water Authority to develop an online Geospatial Data Platform. The city of Long Beach will receive $200,000 to develop and utilise tools and technology to maximise groundwater withdrawal sustainably and reliably. The Coachella Valley Water District in Palm Desert, California, will partner with seven other agencies in Southern California’s Mission Creek Subbasin to update the The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority in Riverside, California and in collaboration with the Desert Research Institute, will receive $100,000 to develop a standard protocol for evaluating cloud seeding benefits to complement a planned pilotscale programme for weather modification. In addition, the project will provide standard guidelines and procedures to effectively quantify the benefits of increased precipitation from weather modification programmes. The Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, Nevada, will receive $193,085 to expand forecasting functionality in an existing water quality model for Lakes Mead and Mohave. The Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District in Central Texas, and in collaboration with the Meadows Centre for Water and Environment at Texas State University, will receive $200,000 to develop an operations and management model to be used by the district to help establish a comprehensive set of rules, policies and strategies to address water resource management challenges in Central Texas. 10 WATER & WASTEWATER ASIA | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2022
NEWS NORTHUMBRIAN WATER LIMITED SELECTS ASYSTOM FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE PROJECT Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL) has chosen Asystom for its predictive maintenance project after its selection as part of a pilot to prevent failures and monitor the health of their equipment. During the trial in June 2021, AsystomPredict detected a leak within days of installation due to a spike in ultrasound levels and an alert was generated. The team was able to make the repair without any damage to the equipment or a shutdown. Since then, NWL has deployed AsystomPredict on eight sites, with more to follow. Besides combining sensors and carrying out advanced diagnostics of machine health assisted by artificial intelligence, AsystomAdvisor also allows its users to be alerted well in advance of a possible machine failure and instantly visualise, regardless of their skill level, its probable root causes. AsystomSentinel beacons monitor not only temperature and triaxial vibration, but also ultrasound (precursor of vibrations that cause damage to a machine). Dave Watson, reliability engineering manager at NWL, commented: “We have developed a great working relationship with Asystom over the last 12 months and found them to be responsive and knowledgeable, helping us gain early detection of potential asset failure and allowing us to make proactive (Image: Asystom) interventions. The multi-sensor beacons have proved accurate and quick to deploy and the incident advisor has given us useful insight into the causes of failure at an affordable cost. The LoRa connectivity between the sensor and gateway has performed well and Asystom have been proactive in developing their platform and the use of AI to enhance its diagnostic capability.” SMART WATER NETWORK MANAGEMENT Optimize resOurces - ensure water quality - reduce cOsts SOFREL DL4W 4G LTE-M/NB-IoT Data logger Flow and pressure monitoring Night flow analysis Flow rate alerts Leak detection CSO monitoring & detection learn mOre: SOFREL ChlorIN Autonomous chlorine level measurements Real-time monitoring Easy to install Immediate notification in case of threshhold breach learn mOre: www.lacroix-environment.com WATER & WASTEWATER ASIA | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2022 11
