All the valves, flow rates etc at our local wastewater treatment faculty are controlled electronically. The main control room looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. At night and on weekends a supervisor takes a laptop home to monitor and make changes if there is a need. Think of all the things that we now control from our phones. The Dam Bureau needs an app for that. Good project for Laconia HS physics class.
