The emergence of new biological threats, together with increased population mobility, increases the risk of contaminant dispersion and new pandemics.
Utilities can play a role in preventing this if empowered with more intelligence about the current level of these contaminants in their area.
This is why it is essential for communities to have the ability to detect, assess, and react to these events as quickly as possible.
The Xylem Vue powered by GoAigua Biological Monitoring application provides municipal authorities with a centralized location from which to manage the entire process, from the planning and monitoring of sampling, integration of the lab analysis, and visualizing these results to facilitate decision-making.
It also monitors the occurrence and concentration of emerging contaminants in wastewater, including viruses, bacteria, infectious agents, medicines, illegal substances, and microplastics.
The solution integrates different sources of information such as demographics, economic data, health information and water consumption at the neighborhood level, to help detect virus and contaminant resurgences while predicting their evolution.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Biological Monitoring helped to track developments in different cities, providing real-time information on the presence of different variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The tool also serves as an early warning system for contaminants in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants, and it can be used to evaluate the efficiency of new technologies and treatments aimed at eliminating them.
All this makes Biological Monitoring a useful tool for communities, helping to detect and control possible threats to health and the environment.
