Smart Water Networks Videos: Increasing Utilities’ ROI on Infrastructure Data

Aug. 30, 2017
This brief article reviews how SCADA, GIS, customer billing systems, and hydraulic models can be all integrated to multiply their value for utilities.  Real-world examples show what can be achieved throughout the various lifecycle stages, from planning and design to operations and maintenance.

Smart Water Networks Videos: Increasing Utilities’ ROI on Infrastructure Data

Water utilities have a long history of collecting data to monitor their systems. Most utilities also analyze and design their systems using hydraulic modeling software, but may not realize that they can combine these tools to make smarter decisions throughout the water infrastructure lifecycle. From planning and design to operation and maintenance, water networks become more reliable, efficient, and sustainable.

As an example of increasing the return on data investments, Gannett Fleming and Lehigh County Authority have worked together to integrate GIS, customer billing, and SCADA data with Bentley’s WaterGEMS hydraulic modeling software. As a result, Lehigh County Authority has a continuously calibrated hydraulic model and timely operational data, allowing them to constantly make better informed decisions about their water network.

To learn more about what WaterGEMS software can do for your organization, watch the following short videos.
