2015 Water Project Showcase
Innovation in the water sector has been largely misunderstood
and understated.
With other types of technology unicorns coming out of the west
coast and our attraction to sexy solutions, the water sector
continues cry out for better, innovative technologies. The reality
is, however, this sector is not in need of highly disruptive
technologies born from an innovator’s garage. There are many
innovative technologies already available to solve most of the
challenges this sector faces today (a few of which are showcased
in the projects high - lighted on the following pages).

2014 Water Project Showcase
The Water Project Showcase is a special supplement to UIM.
This year, we’ve focused this this annual supplement on
successful project stories from across North America. Project
stories offer a comprehensive approach to reporting on new
technology in the industry and how it is applied in the field.
We’ve also presented a few projects that demonstrate some
unique trends in the design, construction, operation and
management of water and wastewater systems.
While not all of these projects are award winning, (some are), they do demonstrate innovation
across several topic areas, acknowledging the many challenges we have regarding our water
infrastructure in North America. We encourage you to read through some of these in the Water
Project Showcase.

The Water Conservation
Guide
It’s no secret water and sewer utilities across the United States
are suffering from a lack of funding for needed projects. Of
course, the timing makes the situation even more detrimental as
we are now in an era of increasing water and wastewater system
failures coupled with droughts. Water conservation and the
benefits of saving this precious resource can be achieved in a
number of ways. But understanding some of the larger issues,
such as water scarcity and the overall shift that is happening in
the way we think about water, is perhaps important before action
can be taken.
To help address this broad topic of conservation, we’ve addressed several areas in our Water
Conservation Guide that are imperative for a water utility to consider.
