Jacobs will provide design services for the remaining phases of the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority's (ENMWUA) rural water supply system, which will provide a renewable surface water supply to 55,000 people and Cannon Air Force Base in eastern New Mexico. The Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System will provide up to 16,415 acre-feet per year of treated surface water from Ute Reservoir to the cities of Clovis, Portales, Texico, the town of Elida, Cannon Air Force Base and unincorporated areas in Roosevelt and Curry counties. The system will replace current groundwater withdrawals from the rapidly declining Ogallala Aquifer with a renewable surface water supply. At an estimated cost of $940 million, the project includes a raw water intake structure, three pump stations, a 28 million gallons per day water treatment plant in Curry County and approximately 140 miles of water conveyance pipelines. 'Jacobs has served as a trusted advisor to ENMWUA since 2005, and we continue that relationship and commitment as we advance the final design phase of this critical water supply project,' said Jacobs People & Places Solutions Americas Senior Vice President and General Manager Ron Williams. 'Providing a renewable water supply to rural communities in a drought-afflicted region aligns with our commitment to climate response, while the opportunity to utilize our Digital OneWater data solutions will deliver added value for our project partner.'  Jacobs has already supported ENMWUA with earlier design work for the rural water supply system and provided on-site construction management for the raw intake structure and a portion of the water transmission line. After the project received $160 million in funding this year from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), design will now be finalized for the remaining phases, including the water treatment plant, which will be constructed over the next five to eight years. The project will incorporate digital tools, including Jacobs' Replica Digital Twin, to seamlessly connect different elements of the water supply system via a centralized data hub at the treatment plant. The application of Jacobs' digital suite has already provided significant cost savings by optimizing design of the pipeline and pump stations. 'The receipt of IIJA funding through the US Bureau of Reclamation allows us to accelerate the design and construction of the rural water supply system,' said ENMWUA Project Administrator Orlando Ortega. 'The combined funding we're receiving this year from the federal government, the State of New Mexico and local communities represents the project's largest annual allocation to date.'

New orders for the Javelin Micro 1.75in NMR Logging Tool are now shipping!

With a 1.75in (44mm) diameter, Javelin Micro is the world’s first wireline NMR tool capable of logging 2in ID PVC cased boreholes. Javelin Micro provides high-resolution, continuous measurements of principal aquifer properties for groundwater and environmental investigations. Logging in 2in diameter PVC wells is a common requirement for many environmental remediation applications.

Pacific Surveys Offers Advanced Javelin Max NMR Logging in Large Diameter Boreholes

The Javelin Max JPX525 NMR logging tool is uniquely capable of logging medium to large diameter groundwater wells with borehole sizes ranging from 6 inches to 18 inches. It can be used in open boreholes up to 18 inches in diameter, as well as PVC-cased wells as small as 6 inches in diameter. These types of large diameter wells are very common for groundwater production and aquifer storage and recovery in the Western United States, and also for groundwater remediation projects including pump and treat facilities.

NASA discovers new way to monitor underground water loss

Researchers have untangled puzzling patterns of sinking and rising land to pin down the underground locations where water is being pumped for irrigation. Scientists have produced a new method that holds the promise of improving groundwater management – critical to both life and agriculture in dry regions. The method sorts out how much underground water loss comes from aquifers confined in clay, which can be drained so dry that they will not recover, and how much comes from soil that’s not...

Pure Water Oceanside: San Diego`s first water reuse project to open

The first operating advanced water purification facility in San Diego County was officially dedicated in the City of Oceanside. Elected officials and water leaders throughout southern California commemorated the milestone aptly celebrated on “World Water Day.” Pure Water Oceanside purifies recycled water to create a new local source of high-quality drinking water that is clean, safe, drought-proof and environmentally sound. The $70 million project uses advanced technology, including ultrafiltration,...

Saur wins a new contract to operate Paphos wastewater treatment plant and establishes durably its presence in Cyprus

The Sewerage Board of Paphos - represented by Mr Phedon Phedonos, Mayor of Paphos - has awarded, following an international tender, the contract to operate the wastewater treatment plant in Paphos (Republic of Cyprus) to the Saur - Iacovou consortium for 8 years. The contract is worth €14.6 million. The site is equipped with technologies allowing the reuse of treated wastewater and the production of renewable energy from the sludge treatment. A success to illustrate Saur`s expertise to preserve water...
