New York's Great Neck Water Pollution Control District has partnered with Xylem to optimize their wastewater management systems. The district has simplified key asset designs, incorporating Xylem's Flygt pumps to reduce pump types over the past eight years. Recently, they added the Xylem Vue powered by GoAigua digital platform, providing a unified view of their wastewater collection system.

This software integrates data from multiple sources, allowing the team to view information from three separate supervisory control and data acquisition systems on a single dashboard. This simplifies operations and provides important information during daily work, repairs, and storm events. The implementation aligns with Great Neck's vision of a smarter, more resilient wastewater system.

Xylem will showcase these innovations at WEFTEC 2024 in New Orleans, booth #4429, from October 7-9. Attendees can learn about Great Neck's streamlined operations on October 7 from 1-1:30 p.m.

Christopher Whitfield and Wenqi (Jonathan) Zhao from the UK have won the Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2024 for their innovative work on PFAS pollution in the Thames Basin. They developed a geospatial neural network that predicts PFAS values with 90% accuracy. The project identifies PFAS hotspots using machine learning, field-tests results, and develops a cost-effective filtration system.

The Diploma of Excellence was awarded to Shanni Valeria Mora Fajardo and Rosa Mendoza Sosa from Mexico for their work on reusing inked water with homemade filtration for veggie gardens. Manoel José Nunes Neto from Brazil won the People's Choice Award. The Stockholm Junior Water Prize, organized annually since 1997, is hosted by the Stockholm Water Foundation with Xylem as Founding Partner.
