Editorial

A section of the water industry recognizes achievements in technological innovation, and awards them for their contribution.

Dr. Andrew Benedek, a Canadian researcher, and successful technopreneur, has been chosen for the inaugural Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize in Singapore. He has pioneered a membrane technology for clean water to be produced from highly polluted water.

A revolutionary wastewater treatment process to alleviate water scarcity while being self sustainable, has been awarded the £250,000 Brian Mercer Award for Innovation from the Royal Society. The study confirms that the low footprint anaerobic process can achieve a high quality effluent, suitable for wastewater reuse with a positive net energy yield, and very low sludge production.

Featured White Paper
Efficient Pressure Dependent Demand Model for Large Water Distribution System Analysis
Author     :  Zheng Yi Wu, Rong He Wang, Thomas M. Walski, Shao
Company :  Haestad Method Solution Center, Bentley Systems, I
In this paper, a robust and efficient approach for pressure dependent demand analysis is developed for simulating a variety of low pressure scenarios. A set of element criticality evaluation criteria is also proposed for quantifying the relative importance of the elements that may be out of service.
