Entity

Description

Flowise tool supports urban water systems management and integrates information from history flow, pressure or other hydraulic variables and performs a comparison with real-time data, triggering alerts for anomalous or extraordinary events in the system that may be due to leaks, pipe bursts, meter or transmission malfunctions, anomalous consumption, PRV deregulation or other events. Flowise information can be used to support decision making at technical and operational levels.

Objectives

  • Allow the statistical analysis of metering data by calculating statistical variables and performance indicators
  • Identify anomalous events in urban water systems through a web application accessible to multiple users
  • To enable the visualization and analysis of flow data, pressure data and other hydraulic variables in real time in an easy and quick manner

Results

  • Generation of anomalous events (leaks, bursts or equipment failures) with automatic notifications allowing faster reaction times and financial savings
  • Creation of a data history for the network – events categorization and analysis
  • Communicate throughout the utility – report changes in the network, bursts or equipment failures
  • Analyze the effectiveness of operational activities in minimum flow reduction
  • Assess distance to minimum flow goals
  • Compare flow and pressure between different meters

Next challenges

  • Promote the integration of new variables types in the application
  • Promote the connection with other information systems (GIS, commercial system or work orders)
