If you are of a certain age you probably remember the meter man walking through your neighborhood once every two or three months. He would walk up to each house and read the water meter, jotting down the numbers on a notepad. This information would then have to be compiled and analyzed back at the municipal offices. While the adoption of computer t...
In areas where it was not practical to send a meter reader individually to each house (for instance, in some of the sparsely populated water districts in the western U.S., which may encompass thousands of square miles), an honor system was devised. Once or twice a year, a postcard would be supplied to each water customer, who would then be expected...
The first big technological improvement to manual reading came with the invention of a hand-held device which allowed the meter reader to simply touch the device to the meter to download the information, rather than have to open and read each meter individually. This not only saved significant time and labor costs, it also improved the accuracy of ...
With the invention of AMR (Advanced Meter Reading) technology, meter readers no longer had to walk down the street. Information from each meter is wirelessly transmitted every few seconds, and is accessible for a short distance, enabling the meter reader to simply drive by and collect the data with a transceiver in the vehicle. The information is t...
The newest water metering technology eliminates the physical visit to the metered neighborhoods. With the long range data transmission capability of AMI technology, data can now be collected directly and automatically over a distance of ½ to 5 miles away. This has revolutionary implications: 1. AMI enables far more frequent meter readings, such as ...
The Global Environment Monitoring System for freshwater (GEMS/Water) provides the world community with sound data on fresh water quality to support scientific assessments and decision-making on the subject.
Apr 8, 2015 · At the end of the day, water quality monitoring is an essential part of keeping the planet healthy and sustainable. As we continue to build cities, clear land for farming and make other man-made changes to the natural environment, water quality monitoring becomes increasingly important.
Data from smart water meters already fitted shows they can help significantly reduce water consumption; reduce leakage; help us reach net zero and enable us to leave more water in the environment.
Feb 18, 2022 · Ambient water quality directly or indirectly influences much of human society, for example, in the provision of drinking water, the production of food, and in the requirements for a stable, equitable, and healthy society.
67% of manufacturers forecast to produce over 10,000 water meters every year. 85% of utilities use positive displacement water meters in their network, while 59% use magnetic meters, 58% use compound meters and 38% use ultrasonic meters.
