My colleagues and I conducted a workshop with WaterTap to enable water technology companies to better approach their pricing strategies. Prior to the workshop, I had the opportunity to interview the CFO of one of Canada’s leading clean tech software companies that is focused on the water sector, James Griffiths of Aquatic Informatics. James was able to share with me his thoughts regarding pricing for one the their software brands, WaterTrax.

This past month, I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Ontario to attend the World Water Tech North America Summit. Like the many other water conferences that are put on year round, this summit proved to be a great place to meet like-minded professionals and to learn more about the trends in the world of water data management. I thought I’d share some of the findings that I learned there with you. 

On the first day, I was able to attend a forum called “Operation Transformation: Harnessing the Digital Revolution.” The panel included speakers from a variety of backgrounds, including municipal and technology executives. The resounding... Read More »

As infrastructure ages, we need to come up with smarter and better ways to work. One of the way to do so is to leverage our current infrastructure and optimize it with new technology.

However, when we start to do that, our data volume rapidly increases, and it can become difficult to manage it all without a solution that turns those volumes of data into actionable information.

Watch Ed Quilty, CEO of Aquatic Informatics, share with Anthony Lacavera from Globalive Media how our company is helping to collect and manage data for infrastructure providers to deliver accurate water information in real time. Ed explains how automating workflows and leveraging IoT with an industry-specific software solution... Read More »

Water has always been important. The perception of its importance is closely linked to episodes of too much, too little, or the wrong quality. Climate change, urban growth, and agricultural intensification are just three examples of pressures that are contributing to an unprecedented global awareness of the importance of water. Everything we know about the effects of these pressures on water are the result of water data.

Is water neglect a direct result of inadequate water data?

Data connects water overuse, misuse, and abuse to undesirable outcomes. In the absence of water data, water uses and abuses have historically been largely indistinguishable.... Read More »

For the final week in our Women in Water series, started on International Women’s Day, we have interviewed women across the world who are dedicated to the protection of water and the environment, and the use of technology to do so. This week, we met with Angela Perks, an AQUARIUS user from the Bay of Plenty Regional Council in New Zealand, and Tamara Roberts, a Linko user at the City of Bloomington Utilities in Bloomington, IN, USA.

Angela Perks is an environmental data analyst with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council who administers the AQUARIUS database, performs field work, and works to automate data capture.

After receiving her master’s degree in geology, Angela worked for a while in the... Read More »
