Data Capture Technology for Water/Wastewater Facility Management

Data Capture technology is quickly becoming a way for water and wastewater treatment plants to efficiently collect information, analyze the results, and optimize performance.  There are several methods of capturing this information, eliminating complacency, and documenting equipment and project status in water and wastewater operations.  This presentation describes Data Capture projects for Water and Wastewater systems, including ways to look at and manage data, what can be done with the data collected, and visual examples of various projects using drones, 3-D Models, and GIS.
