대규모의 특정지역 배수관망과 관련된 모든 회사의 네트워크 모델링 및 관리를 지원하기 위한 노력으로 딕슨카운티수도청(Water Authority of Dickson County, WADC)은 InfoWaterd의 차(chars) 및 Innovyze의 GIS 통합 소프트웨어 응용 프로그램을 도입해 비즈니스 분석관련 소프트웨어의 현명한 인프라 기술에 대한 전 세계적인 혁신을 제공할 방침이다.

WADC는 지난 2002년 설립, 딕슨·윌리엄(Williamson)·히크먼(Hickman)카운티에서 폐수와 관련한 서비스를 제공하고 있다. WADC의 설립 이래로 물 관련 고객이 40% 이상 증가해 폐수 관련 부문에서도 100% 이상의 지속적인 성장을 기대하고 있다.

 

In an effort to support its large-scale, enterprise-wide geospatial water distribution network modeling and management needs, the Water Authority of Dickson County (WADC), Tenn., chas adopted InfoWater, an advanced GIS-integrated software application from Innovyze, who serves a global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure.

WADC, founded in 2002, serves water customers in Dickson and Williamson Counties and wastewater customers in Dickson, Hickman and Williamson counties. Since its inception, the Authority has seen increases of more than 40 percent in water customers and more than 100 percent in wastewater customers and looks forward to continued growth.

Accordingly, the Authority services more than 630 miles of water main and more than 215 miles of sewer main. It now produces and sells approximately 1.6 billion gallons of water and treats approximately 1.4 billion gallons of wastewater. InfoWater will help WADC address critical planning, design, operational, and water quality issues with maximum effectiveness while optimizing its capital improvement and operational expenditure programs.

InfoWater's innovative network modeling technology addresses every facet of utility infrastructure management and protection -- delivering a high rate of return. Built atop ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, Calif.), the technology seamlessly integrates sophisticated predictive analytics, systems dynamics and optimization functionality directly within the powerful ArcGIS setting.

From fire flow and dynamic water quality simulations, valve criticality and energy cost analysis, to pressure zone management and advanced Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm optimization, the suite comes equipped with everything water utility owner-operators need to best plan, design, operate, secure and sustain their distribution systems.
