Digital Twins: The Next Generation of Water Treatment Technology.

Key Takeaways: Water utilities are turning to "digital twins" to benefit their ongoing operations, improve planning, and enhance operator training. As facility "flight simulators," digital twins allow utilities to quickly investigate many solutions without putting equipment, public health, or the environment at risk. Dynamic process simulations boost communication and collaboration, especially for teams with varied technical backgrounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
