Water Management
Water is becoming an increasingly precious commodity for all. For water utilities and regional water authorities, being equipped with 24/7 access to information to help better maintain and manage water catchments, networks and systems is of critical importance. Of equal importance is the capability to locate and respond immediately to things such as supply interruptions, network outages, stream flow information, leakages and catchment levels.
With so much of a water utility and regional water authority's business information containing a location reference, and enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) is a vital to to accurate locate and manage your company's assets, and plan your day-to-day operations in greater detail. GIS provides you with the ability to organise and manage location-based information from various sources and corporate databases, enabling you to distribute this information throughout the organisation, via the web, or to your workers in the field.
Significantly more powerful than CAD systems, and unlike other GIS solutions that focus purely on asset and facilities management, ESRI Australia's location intelligence solutions help to improve sustainable water management. By partnering with ESRI Australia, your utility or water authority can be assured of a scalable and integrate solution that delivers real business benefits and value across your entire organisation.
Sustainable Water Management
Overview
Water authorities have a number of competing priorities in managing their region's waterways, from meeting stakeholder requirements such as irrigation and agriculture, to sustaining natural biodiversity for future generations.
Location intelligence delivers the ability to understand and visualise the many complex facets of catchment and systems manage, enabling the integration of ecological, economic and social objectives. By using GIS as a key information management tool, you too can improve decision making, streamline work processes, create predictive scenarios and ensure accurate reporting.
Outage Management for Water Utilities
Overview
Knowing where a stoppage or mains break has occurred, and which properties and customers are affected is the key to the rapid restoration of water supply. By linking location intelligence with your outage management system, your utility assets can be accurately and intelligently modelled, ensuring any loss of supply can be efficiently and effectively managed, ensuring that critical customer service and regulatory service level agreements are met.
Asset and Systems Maintenance and Monitoring
Overview
Location intelligence delivers the unique ability to author, serve and use location information, enabling you to easily track assets and environments, monitor their conditions, keep track of water licences and connections, and make better decisions for maintenance and renewal.
From performing what-if analyses to tracking, location and managing your assets, GIS helps to not only handle the day-to-day demands of managing a water network, but also ensures its future sustainability, improves productivity and enhances customer service delivery.
