OUTREACH

SWIM/WATERiD IABThe WATERiD Industry Advisory Board has now been established

Founding Gold Members from the industry, namely Applied Felts, Arcadis, Echologics, and Reline America

Founding Member Utilities, the Town of Blacksburg, VA, the City of Lynchburg, VA, and Aurora Water, Colorado.

   

Partnership with Benjamin Media for Annual WATERiD and UIM conference at Virginia Tech Research Center, Arlington,

VABenjamin Media will also act as a media and publishing partner for WATERiD

November 13 – 15 (SWIM Board Meeting on Friday, Nov. 15th)

 

WATERiDEx is envisioned to be “a Living Knowledge Database for above-ground

assets” addressing condition assessment, renewal engineering, performance, and cost related to

wastewater and drinking water treatment facilities.

WATER infrastructure DATABASE Extension (WATERiDEx)

To permit wastewater and drinking water utilities to easily share their experiences and lessons learned regarding above-ground water infrastructure assets, we are proposing the expansion of existing WATERiD knowledge database. The expanded national database will be called Water infrastructure Database Extension (WATERiDEx).

 

WATERiD+ is envisioned to be “a Living Database Platform for Advanced Water

Infrastructure Asset Management” addressing all three major management levels including

strategic, tactical, and operational that will assist utilities of all sizes to sustain targeted level of

service

WATER infrastructure DATABASE PLUS (WATERiD+) To truly implement advanced asset management, a dramatic evolution of the water industry as a whole is required. A centralized database to house the homogenous, time dependent data from different sources is crucial in enabling local, state, and federal governments to employ the advanced infrastructure asset management strategies.
