How Digitalization Can Boost Natural Disaster Resiliency In Municipal Water And Sewerage Treatment

Digitalization of the municipal water treatment industry is fragmented today, with instrumentation, control, and automation technologies mixed with manual operational activities. While such infrastructures can be sub-optimal in their efficacy, efficiency, and visibility, they can be detrimental to community and environmental health and well-being in cases of hydro-geological events, such as severe storms and earthquakes. The good news: When natural disasters strike, digitalization can help get municipal water treatment back online quickly and effectively.
