Real-time decision support for optimal wastewater systems planning, operation and control

Future City Flow

High flows and infiltration/inflow in both combined and separate sewer networks is a rising concern. Utilities and operators need a better way to provide an ample supply of safe water, comply with environmental legislation, and more efficiently manage wastewater systems to demonstrate budgetary performance.

With Future City Flow, you can proactively manage your city’s water flows to buffer the impacts of weather, growing urban populations, densification and aging infrastructure. The power of Future City Flow lies in the collation of SCADA, GIS and weather data that’s fed into an on-line forecasting model, predicted control system. This scenario based planning tool targets a reduction of I&I. The user interface is structured as a cloud service via Microsoft Azure, accessible through a unique user sign-in.
