The emerging availably of 'Big Data' or large datasets represents a challenge for the water industry in terms of assimilating this data with the existing operational data. Existing IT systems and structures are not designed to cope with both the volume and velocity of these datasets. More importantly they do not have the data processing and analytics capabilities to process the data into a form that can readily be integrated into these IT systems and then used for real world applications and...

The 'Cloud' has the promise of tools and services to deliver and promote an effective and efficient operation. This paper will show tangible benefits of Cloud Based Technologies in wastewater pumping monitoring and control. The benefits are shown in a life cycle cost perspective comparing cloud based solutions with traditional monitoring and control installations. Results are based on experience from more than 2500 connected pump stations and other water assets globally.

The benefits of decision support systems for environmental management are often challenging to value, particularly where they include intangible benefits that require a detailed understanding of operating procedures, such as risk mitigation or operational improvements. This paper describes the methodology used to value a cloud-based decision support system for odour risk management implemented at two wastewater treatment plants in England in mid-2016. The system was used for rapid analysis an...

Technical improvements of the leading odour removal concept by implementation of secured network technology for dosage control systems.

Aguas de Alicante has developed an online Big Data Solution in Alicante (Spain) to determine water demand in short (6 days) and medium time (12 months). This is an example how a Smart City could use data to improve the sustainability of the city.

ABSTRACT: Sewage contains the excreted biomarkers of endogenous human metabolism that directly reflects the exposure and stressors placed upon an entire contributing community. The quantitative measurement of these specific biomarkers in sewage from communities allows the averaged patterns of factors related to lifestyle, disease and environment to be used for the assessment of human health and the environment. While most research in this field has been aimed at estimating the use of il...
