Solutions to Global Challenges

Delivery of safe, affordable water

Access real-time data and information on your water supply & distribution system to drive improvements in delivering a continuous supply of high quality and affordable drinking water from source to tap

The issue

Population growth and climate change are putting significant pressure on the world’s most precious resource compromising both its quality and available quantity. To continue to deliver a safe and reliable water supply, it’s vital to properly maintain drinking water systems and operate them in an energy efficient manner to support a growing population.

Why it matters

Without safe and reliable water distribution networks, cities cannot grow. Economies suffer when businesses and residents no longer tolerate breakdowns, water safety concerns and rising consumption costs. Communities and industries are urged like never before to find innovative ways to reduce water losses and comply with increasingly demanding environmental regulations.

How we can help

To help guide such improvements, DHI can create a virtual representation of your physical system. A Digital Twin translates data to knowledge to verify system capacity, identify bottlenecks, analyse operations and visualise future “what-if” and “what-to-do-now” scenarios. Discover how to best protect your community’s water supply for years to come.

How real-time modelling supports a proactive water network operation

With rapid urban population growth, water utilities worldwide face pressing challenges to preserve the hydraulic and water quality of already strained water distribution networks and infrastructure. This strain has created an increasing need for the implementation of real-time water network management systems to support proactive management of water distribution networks. Such smart management systems are typically using advanced technology like Digital Twin modelling.
