Transcript of Smart Water Resource Management
About us
• More than 60 years of combined experiencein groundwater management
• 100% focused on developing groundwatermanagement technology
• (R)evolutionizing groundwater resourcesplanning and management by introducingnew technologies
• Enabling proactive and participatorygroundwater management
PROVIDING GROUNDWATER VISIBILITY AND PREDICTABILITY
Current situation – technology not addressing
Overexploited aquifers - drought
Overexploited aquifers – seawaterintrusion Salinization of irrigated land
Mining activities - contamination
Economic, environmental and political impact
Current situation - technology
• Existing technology is not meeting today’s
demanding groundwater resources
planning and management requirementso Proactive
o Real-time
o Collaborative
• Planning, management and collaboration
tools are not integrated
• Groundwater models are critical buto Difficult to update – become obsolete
o Too hard to use by non-modelers
• Lacks visibility and predictability
• Direct impact on groundwater resources
sustainability
• Data Managemento Real-time data access
o Advanced statistical functionality
o Exporting capabilities
• Aquifer resources managemento Budget management
o 3D views
o Automated model updating
• Sustainability managemento “What-if” scenarios
o Sensitivity analysis
• Transparency / Collaborationo Harmonized data sources
o Common decision support framework
Hydromodel Host IGWM™ framework The solution
Hydromodel Host – the solution
• Cloud based platform
• Real time decision support system
• Common platform for groundwater
resources Planners
Managers
Users
• Provides predictability and visibility
over groundwater resources quantity
and quality
• Easy to use web based interface to
run complex “what-if” scenarios
Hydromodel Host – unique technology
Automated groundwater and surface water model updating in the cloud
Easily run complex “what-if” scenarios and sensitivity analysis in the cloud
Hydromodel Host – now it is easy to…
Assess impact of changing land use
Understand aquifer response to climate change
Assess the impact of future demand
scenarios on the aquiferDetect illegal/unaccounted
for extractions
Understand impact of artificial
recharge in a specific point
Calculate extraction effects and maximum extraction volumes to
ensure sustainability
Assess impact of a hydraulic barrier
Identify sources of contamination
Hydromodel Host – benefits
• Real time visibility and predictability over
groundwater resources
• Single “source of truth” for groundwater
regulators, planners, managers and users
• Groundwater modelso Are updated automatically real time
o Become management tools
o Obsolete models become an asset again
• Planners, managers and users can easily
assess quantitative and qualitative impact
of decisions – run “what-if” scenarios
• Cost savings – between 5X-10X over
traditional groundwater management
processes
Use cases – “What-if” scenarios
Assess the impact of future demand scenarios on the aquiferChile - Alto Mapocho Aquifer
Use cases - Budget Calculate extraction effects and maximum extraction volumes to
ensure sustainabilityChile - Maipo-Mapocho Aquifer
Use cases – Field data
