Abstract |
A survey was made of existing and planned applications of instrumentation in water and wastewater systems of selected urban and metropolitan areas of the United States. The basic goal was to make available information concerning instrumentation and automation that would be useful to decision-makers in providing and operating such systems. Summaries are included on specific applications of monitoring, data logging and analysis, data processing and reduction, conventional supervisory control, automation, and computer control of operations. The various systems are water supply, water treatment, wastewater and stormwater collection, wastewater treatment and disposal, water quality monitoring, and hydrologic data collection. The report is part of a series on flow control in combined sewers. |
