Drinking Water

To ensure that the drinking water quality is maintained at acceptable standards clean water networks must be monitored. Real-time water quality stations provide information on water quality and notify the authorities in the event of a problem. DHI can deliver data storage, validation, data presentation and web-based operator and community awareness information though real-time data analysis and modelling.

Large scale water transfer lines move water from reservoirs and harvesting schemes to areas with less secure supplies. Since millions of people rely on these transfer pipelines for reliable supplies, the facilities must operate safely under all possible conditions - for instance in the case of an unforeseen demand, leakage or malfunction of gates or valves.

The successful operation of a water transfer line relies on real-time information technology, especially predictive hydrodynamic modelling of the flow and dangerous water transients. DHI provides real-time water transfer supervisory modelling services to ensure the energy-efficient, safe and reliable operation of water transfer pipeline systems.

Water Distribution

The goals for water supply agencies to provide water of the required quality, at the required pressure - and at the right time - are now no longer just wishes – they are requirements. Supply agencies must continuously improve their operational management to meet community expectations, reduce costs and increase the level of customer service. Water distribution modelling is a cornerstone in the analysis necessary for determining the appropriate strategy. 

Examples are:
• Hydraulic analysis of existing and planned distribution networks
• Cost analysis and operational optimisation, energy use and leakage detection
• Water hammer analysis
• Water quality analysis of water age and management of chlorination
• Implementation of GIS and billing systems
• Artificial recharge through infiltration basins, wells and sprinkling systems
