There's been talk about the role of SOA in "Green IT." In a new article, Vance McCarthy brings a new twist to the Green SOA story -- SOA is playing a key role in cleaning up pollution in San Francisco Bay and nearby Pacific Ocean.

The key is insight provided by the SOA-based system that monitors discharges into the water, according to Tommy Moala, Assistant General Manager, San Francisco PUC Wastewater Enterprise. The real value is the information it gathers, so that we can further reduce water pollution. With some work order histories generated from the software, we can see that we've rebuilt a pump, say, 10 times--maybe it's time to replace it."
