GIS for Water and Wastewater Management #esri #infrastructure

The Region of Peel manages municipal services for its member municipalities, including a large network of water distribution and wastewater collection systems. To help taxpayers get the most out of each piece of infrastructure in the network while minimizing service disruptions, the Region developed the Region of Peel Decision Support System (DSS) using Esri’s software-as-a-service for mapping and spatial analysis, ArcGIS Online. The DSS allows Region staff to easily crunch data about infrastructure projects and plan and prioritize work. Staff upload datasets, visualize them on an interactive map, then use ArcGIS Dashboards to summarize the cost of each activity and filter necessary work by location and construction year. “It’s a great tool,” says Anil Agnihotri, water and wastewater infrastructure planning advisor at the Region of Peel. “The team really likes it and they like the functionality.”
