Pipeline Fatigue
Pipelines are the blood vessels of many municipal water infrastructure systems. However, like most pieces of machinery, the more it is used the more damage it will develop. This can turn into things like crack propagation and rusting. Because of this, Pipeline Fatigue is something very important that engineers and municipal planners have to look out for.
Water Recycling
Water is a precious resource. Being the lifeblood of human civilization, populations need to be constantly supplied with it. And since in many areas of the planet freshwater can be a scarce resource, Water Recycling may play a huge opportunity to mitigate this. Water Recycling is increasingly becoming an important part of climate adaptation in arid zones such as the Middle East and California. Image credit eagleenvironmental.us
Fluid Flow Monitoring in Pipes
Pipes are one of the cornerstones of our modern infrastructure. However, sometimes we may need to monitor how much water goes through it in case of any trouble arising. Through Fluid Flow Monitoring in Pipes using sensors, we can see the flow rate of the fluids and when they become critical. This can become very useful for flood resilience work.
