An ambitious plan to turn back the hands of time by nearly a century on the Elwha River in northwest Washington State is being carefully studied by stakeholders on other river systems where long-standing dams may someday be breached. Dismantling two concrete hydroelectric dams built in the early 20th century requires careful planning, skilled execution, and close attention to the flow of water that will nurture the reemergence of the river’s salmon population.

But behind the massive tunnels and the huge catch basins is a system just as staggering – the SMART Project’s nerve system, a network of flood detection equipment and automated management machinery linked by a Supervisory Data Acquisition and Control (SCADA) brain that uses the information it gathers to automatically engage flood management gates and pumps.

HidroMares has installed its SISMO systems at seven port complexes around Brazil, from ocean terminals in the south to an inland river port in the Amazon basin. At the heart of each system is a SonTek acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), which provides current velocity and direction data throughout the water column, as well as water level.

India is emerging as a world leader in irrigation schemes, and the 458-km Narmada Main Canal – the largest concrete-lined irrigation canal in the world – stands as a monument to the opportunities and challenges that face water providers.

The ARC-Boat was developed by HR Wallingford and employs SonTek-proprietary Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP®) technology. The HydroSurveyor is a highly sophisticated system which includes 5-beam depth sounding, water velocity profiling and navigation capabilities. When mounted in the ARC boat, the HydroSurveyor scans the reservoir as it is guided across the water’s surface. Recorded data is then analyzed by HydroSurveyor software to produce accurate depth measurement in addition to bathymetry maps of the entire water body. With a small amount of post-processing in GIS or 3-D CAD, an accurate water volume can be determined.

It’s hard to picture just how flat Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin is, but picture this – tens of thousands of square kilometers braided with slow-flowing rivers and streams with virtually no fall in their channels.

The HydroSurveyor-M9 system from SonTek, a Xylem brand, is an instrument/technology that Indian Railway has employed to rapidly measure bathymetry data along with velocity data.

Xylem’s Flygt Concertor, with integrated intelligence that uses sensor monitoring, self-optimising technology and adaptive hydraulics, was the perfect smart, energy-efficient processing method.

The Philippine government, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), implemented several measures to reform the island. Closing it for 6 months, the government began clean-up and implemented strict regulations for sustainable water and responsible tourism.

As part of Scottish Water's asset resilience strategy, it trialled Xylem Concertor, the first wastewater pumping solution with integrated intelligence, at two of its Ayrshire pumping stations: Maple Grove and Cross Dene.

The Thakadu Nickel Purification Plant utilises a process called Nickel Crystallization. A crude nickel sulfate stream is pumped to the purification plant, where it is heated and evaporated into a vacuum, forming nickel sulfate crystals for harvesting.

Xylem’s channel partner Anderson Process was tasked with designing a custom system that could efficiently and reliably heat and cool the oil to the desired temperatures. The team custom engineered a skid incorporating an assortment of fluid handling components, including a Goulds Water Technology e-SH pump and two Standard Xchange heat exchangers.

For decades, the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities has been working to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the James River. Despite making significant improvements, the City still experiences between one and three billion gallons of annual overflow and is actively working to reach Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) water quality goals.

An increasing number of certification bodies, including NWRI and the USEPA’s UVDGM, require the use of original components in UV water disinfection systems to achieve compliance. But certifications and local compliance policies are different in different parts of the world, including the Middle East region.

Even in coal-dominated Kentucky, renewable energy is getting more attention as federal and state tax incentives add up, and the federal government moves closer to capping carbon dioxide emissions and making coal power more expensive.

The Water Authority was one of the first agencies to take a proactive PCCP management approach. They began an aggressive condition assessment program in 1992. This early program relied primarily on internal visual and sounding inspections.

Water Well Trust, a nonprofit partner of Xylem and Hometown H2O, is a domestic water program working to bring access to clean and sustainable water to the more than 2 million Americans without it.

Pumps are everywhere in agriculture, essential both for irrigation and for heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC). But water needs change, and irrigation systems don’t always require a constant flow rate or constant pressure. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are electric controllers that vary the speed of the pump, allowing the pump to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand.

According to Utilitalia, 38 percent of water is lost on average from the country’s distribution networks. By reducing these losses, the country’s utilities can achieve a more sustainable water supply, lower energy demand, and better financial stewardship.

O.Y Water’s employees are consistently participating in Xylem’s professional trainings and for three decacdes, they are the people who are recognized with the FLYGT brand in Israel.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Ecology Group (GEG) developed a fogging system to support the delivery of ECAS solutions in benign disinfection applications. GEG’s Founder and CEO, Owen J. Morgan, has been developing ECAS since the early 1990’s but enlisted Xylem’s help to create amore accessible, portable ECAS fogging system for everyday spaces such as offices and vehicles.
