Our Objective
Identify, evaluate, and share the application experience of advanced sensing technologies and networks used for compliance strategies and improved efficiency of collection and treatment operations and sewershed management. This challenge is not expected to develop a new generation of online sensors, but rather build upon recent and current work by others, and evaluate effectiveness of available and future technology and networks through demonstrations. This effort will develop and maximize the capacity to utilize the vast amount of data generated to support the transition to the utility of the future and to improve receiving water quality and ecosystem health.

The research began with a collaborative WERF-led effort "Compendium of Sensors and Their Use in the Global Water Industry", with the Global Water Research Coalition. This first project developed a compendium that identified and documented the types, costs (capital and operating), and provided real-world case studies from the global water industry on use and deployment of commercially available online sensors in water and wastewater systems.
