BirdNest, a Water Data Management Company, Selected to Speak at Two Industry Events

BirdNest, a company that provides water data collection and report management systems for the water/wastewater industry, to present at two upcoming industry events.

Houston, TX, February 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The abstract “Digital Revolution in Water Utility Management” was selected for presentation at the 2010 DistribuTECH Conference and Exhibition, to be held on March 23-25, 2010 in Tampa, Florida. BirdNest Vice President and COO,

Gary Lassin will explain a 21st-century concept to water utility information management that encompasses all perspectives of the job, from compiling data in a more direct and precise way, to using the data to manage day-to-day operations more effectively, to deploying collected data in dynamic modeling programs that could save millions of dollars in capital improvement expenditures.

DistribuTECH has increased programming for the water industry and will accommodate more water exhibitors and attendees in 2010. BirdNest will present on March 23, 2010 at 2:30 PM EST.

The abstract “Digital Revolution in Ground Water Utility Management” was selected for presentation at the 2010 Ground Water Summit taking place April 11-15 in Denver, Colorado. This presentation will also be delivered by BirdNest Vice President and COO, Gary Lassin and will focus on the advantages a new method to ground water data has given users. It will also have the considerations to make before choosing a digital solution for groundwater monitoring.

The 2010 Ground Water Summit is aimed to bring together an array of regulators, practitioners, natural resource managers, policymakers, municipal planners and others who give knowledge and technology needed to focus on key water issues. BirdNest will present on Monday, April 12, 2010 at 4:10 PM.

Both presentations will begin with a quick look at water data and provide examples of how a digital system has been used by three utility managers.

1) M. Marlon Ivy & Associates operate many small Municipal Utility Districts in the Houston area. They have used a digital data system since 2003 to monitor water treatment, distribution and wastewater treatment, and within the first month of use basically eliminated paper logs.

2) Genoa Township in Michigan employs Severn Trent to administer about 60 lift stations, 3 wastewater treatment plants, and 2 water treatment plants and has made use of a digital data system since 2006. The Township’s utilities director uses the operational data collected to manage the water and sewer infrastructure.

3) The City of Pearland, TX, installed their digital data system in 2005. The data collected was used in a dynamic modeling study as part of their long-range capital improvement program. With digital data, the engineer could dynamically model and verify the system. As a conclusion of this study, the projected cost of the capital project was lowered from $145 million to $77 million.

BirdNest implements a secure, web-based reporting and optional phone-based water data collection tool that furnishes real-time control over critical operating data. This strong digital data system and data efficiency tool helps water utility managers boost operator productivity, regulate personnel costs, spot problems quickly, use data effectively for long-range planning, and increase overall compliance, accountability and reliability. The tool can be used in the phases of water production data management, water distribution data management, water collection data management, wastewater treatment, and wastewater monitoring.
