Flow and Rainfall Monitoring – Ensuring Data Quality and Introduction to Analysis Tools (Part 1)
In the first two installments of the Flow Monitoring Webinar Series, Civica aimed to provide a greater understanding of natural phenomena (e.g., rainfall) and assess built systems (infrastructure) and how they perform against design expectations. The webinars also examined available technology and how to effectively operate and maintain it. Now, this third webinar explores the […]
Flow and Rainfall Monitoring – Available Technology and How to Effectively Operate and Maintain (Part 2)
The management of wastewater and sewage systems is crucial to ensure the public health and environmental protection. Sewer flow monitoring is a critical aspect of managing these systems as it enables operators to understand the hydraulic conditions and performance of the system. In recent years, technological advancements have made sewer flow monitoring more efficient […]
Flow and Rainfall Monitoring – Available Technology and How to Effectively Operate and Maintain It (Part 1)
Rainfall monitoring is the measurement of rainwater (and potentially snow) accumulation over time. Rainfall monitoring helps municipalities and engineers better understand how much precipitation falls in an area and how it affects water supplies, land use, flooding, and other elements of the environment. Knowing the amount of rainfall enables municipalities to make decisions on topics […]
Introduction to Collection System Flow and Rainfall Monitoring (Part 1)
Flow and rainfall monitoring is a crucial aspect of managing water resources in municipalities. Flow and rainfall monitoring involve measuring the natural occurrence of precipitation as well as human-related inputs (i.e., sewage in wastewater systems) and the resulting flow conditions in collection systems. In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of flow […]
Challenges of the New Subdivision Flow Monitoring to Assess Performance of Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Prevention
The innovative New Subdivision I/I Prevention Program has yielded great results for multiple municipalities when it comes to infiltration and inflow (I/I) reduction. That said, it doesn’t mean that the new subdivision I/I prevention plan is without its challenges. Let’s take a look at some of those challenges laid out in the flow monitoring plan. […]
