The Power of Water Network Data - July 14, 2011
|
Water utilities collect diverse data from their distribution networks. Flow, pressure, temperature, quality, acoustic data and other parameters are often measured and transmitted over to central repositories.
But is the process of collecting, transmitting, processing and presenting the data optimal? Can utilities manage their networks in a more efficient way if they reliably gather more accurate data on time? If they do so, can they form the foundation of a Smart Water Network that will give them better control and insight into the network? |

In this free webinar, led by i2O Water, TaKaDu and Derceto, we discussed and demonstrated the role data plays in efficient network management and control, and focused on four key challenges:
- Data availability and accessibility
- Data collection and transmission frequency
- Data accuracy and precision
- Data analysis and presentation
Andrew Burrows, CTO of i2O Water, and Simon Bunn, CTO of Derceto, addressed these and other common challenges and discussed real case-studies on improved network management using accurate real-time data. This was followed by a Q&A session. The webinar was moderated by Guy Horowitz of TaKaDu, Chairman of the SWAN Forum.
