• Water security planning

• Water quality (multi-species) assessment

• Energy and capital cost management

• Regulatory (IDSE) compliance

• Pipe break analysis

ARCGIS INTEGRATED WATER DISTRIBUTION MODELING AND MANAGEMENT

• Temperature modeling

• Sediment transport and deposition

• Turbidity modeling

• Leak detection and reduction

• Sensor location optimization

• Carbon cost calculation

• Pressure zone management

• Unidirectional flushing

• Vulnerability/risk assessment

COMPLETE MODEL BUILD ENVIRONMENT

InfoWater allows the quick and convenient building of water distribution models as an ArcGIS extension. Models can be created, edited, updated and stored within a geodatabase utilizing data taken directly and inferred from the corporate geodatabase and a variety of other data sources. Multiple scenarios can be created and fully automated updates maintained using the GIS Data Exchange Tool. InfoWater contains a powerful set of quality assurance and control features to ensure that models are of the highest standard, including network trace, connectivity, link and node tools; pre-analysis hydraulic and topology data checks; and the ability to pinpoint disconnected areas.

EXTENSIVE SIMULATION OPTIONS

InfoWater uses a modified hybrid network solution engine to ensure excellent simulation speed, stability and accuracy. Comprehensive network modeling capabilities are available, either within the standard InfoWater package or as part of the wider suite. These include water quality, fire flow simulation, valve criticality, water demand and pressure zone management, unidirectional flushing, multi-species modeling, energy use and cost calculations, automatic calibration and design of networks, and carbon footprint analysis.

RICH PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

Using powerful ArcGIS thematic mapping functionality, InfoWater makes it easy to turn dry database information into stunningly colorful, fully dimensional visualizations. It is possible to generate beautiful, accurate and smooth contours for any variable — even overlay multiple contours on a single drawing. Users can draw on a range of other sophisticated graphical presentation tools, including color-coded mapping, dynamic annotation and labeling, graphing, profiling, customizable tabular reporting, and vivid VCR-style animation to produce truly compelling results.

INFOSURGE TRANSIENT ANALYSIS

InfoSurge provides the most advanced and comprehensive platform available for analyzing complex hydraulic transients with incredible power, speed and ease of use. Cavitation or excessive pressure surging during transient operation can lead to pipeline or component failure, and surge control devices are often required to prevent the development of such conditions. The proper selection and evaluation of these devices requires reliable transient flow analysis. Surge analysis is vital in the design of water supply and distribution systems to ensure their safety and reliability under emergency conditions.

ADVANCED PIPE BREAK ANALYSIS

InfoWater can explicitly model water main breaks and leaks, enabling users to develop effective leakage reduction and control and demand and maintenance management strategies to maximize the quantity of revenue-producing water, minimize economic losses, ensure hydraulic and water integrity, improve the quality of service, and conserve this precious resource. Breaks can be specified for any pipe in the network along with their location, size, and time of occurrence. They can also be automatically distributed at the two end nodes of a pipe. InfoWater will compute and report the total water volume lost to breaks as well as their impact on the hydraulic (e.g. flows, pressures velocities, and fire-fighting capacity) and water quality (e.g. chlorine concentrations) integrity of the water distribution system.
