Melissa Rohland joins PMAA’s “Authorities On Air” Podcast to Discuss Smart Water Technologies

Our Director of Strategic Programs joined Melissa Radovanic, Craig Fahnestock, and Lindsay Hughes on the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association podcast to discuss smart water technologies.  They talked about the what technologies are available (like smart meters, SCADA, hydraulic models) and the integration of those technologies into a digital twin to better understand your system, perform predictive analyses, and enhance capital improvement planning.  They discussed practical benefits of the technology related to leak detection and increasing data requirements from regulatory agencies, while thoughtfully reinforcing the important role engineers and operations staff play in analyzing and making decisions from the data these tools provide.

Authorities On Air is the official podcast of the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association, an organization representing more than 700 municipal authorities across Pennsylvania that offers its members education, networking, legislative services, and a variety of insurance and pension programs.  The podcast is designed to shine a spotlight on the people providing valuable public services related to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and more as well as the issues they are facing in their work.
