and on its basis the system reacts to a particular state. PLCs can be
easily programmed. The SCADA system like in all systems also keeps a
record of data collected in database in a systematic way and can be
easily accessed and manipulated.
Thus, when one needs to locate the fault he can easily locate by
checking the parameters which are stored in database. As the faults
gets detected in a timely and efficient manner, SCADA in the water
industry also saves troubleshooting costs which can be huge if there is
no idea of the location f the fault.
Data transmitted from remote sensors to central unit can be done in
many ways (Ethernet, serial ports, wireless) but wireless mode of
transmission is always cost effective and efficient. Thus, it
can be concluded that SCADA in the water industry has proved to be a
boon paying for the efficient and reliable working of water control
systems.

Security enhancement for scada communication protocols
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) has found its
applications into many realms of industry as well as real life.
Now its scope it is not limited to traditional industries but it has
made inroads into many other fields especially the control systems like
water control system, electricity control systems, sewerage control
system etc.
Though SCADA systems are important for safe and secure working
environment but there are many security lapses in them which can be
traversed easily and it can lead to leak of crucial data to outside
people.
Mostly the lapses are present in the way how the information/ data
collected get transmitted. The remote terminals are generally connected
via LAN supporting TCP/IP protocol thus rendering it to security
lapses. Such lapses can be fatal thus there is need for security
enhancement for SCADA communication protocols. |

Scada in the gas industry
Foreign Countries gas operations face a number of important challenges,
for example remote assets, unreliable communications, high costing and
implications of safety as to having people overseas that face the
challenge on a daily basis. The most complex of challenges that are
faced in the gas industry would have to be the accounting area together
with the multiple tax as well as royalty regimes during one operation.
The Gas Industry is also faced with a combination of regulatory,
environmental, political as well as economic situations.
The Security Challenge; may be, occurrence of cyber-attack or
intrusion, this may be accidental or intentional but has however
increased over the past few years. The preservation of the honor of the
gas industry on a global scale is fundamental, for the continuation of
ongoing business, safety of the public, the interest of national
security as well as both the National and Global economy.
