Скачать или смотреть MAGIC Webinar: Bridging the Gap Between GIS and Hydraulic Water Models

Utilities today are continuing to experience significant growth and subsequently having to face many challenges regarding the design and operation of their water distribution systems. Computerized hydraulic models have become an essential tool to assist water providers with optimizing their systems to meet both objectives. With the deep integration of today’s hydraulic modeling software into GIS platforms, a significant amount of information needed to create a hydraulic model is readily available, dramatically reducing the level of effort associated with developing a model. Consequently, utilities and system operators of any size can now have unparalleled access to analyze how water moves through their system network. This presentation highlights how hydraulic water models bridge the gap between network modeling and ArcGIS, allowing the capability for impact assessments, master planning, fire flow analysis, and system optimization.
