New Ground-breaking Software for Water Systems Developed
A new sophisticated software has been developed by the Intelligent Water Decisions Group to help manage our most precious resource: water.
Researchers from the have developed the (POAWS) software, which is designed to assist organisations in the complex management of water. The software was developed over a two year period by, , and .
The new software has been implemented by . The Orange City area came close to running out of water, due to droughts in 2000 and 2010. As a response, the Council developed a range of alternative water sources to help supplement the existing supply.
The use of multiple water sources requires careful management, which is aided by the POAWS software.
鈥淲e have developed the POAWS toolkit taking into account the Orange system鈥檚 requirements and its ease-of-use,鈥 Prof Simpsons says. 鈥淭he user can optimise the system performance in dry, average and wet years.鈥
On the 23rd of June 2016, researchers from the hosted Samantha McGufficke from Orange City Council (NSW) and Martin Haege from Geolyse to .
鈥淭he presentation of the optimisation model was extremely useful and it is our opinion that it will be a useful planning tool for Orange City Council to help inform decisions about the mix of water sources鈥 Martin Haege wrote in an email to the Adelaide team after their visit.
Communication between the Adelaide researchers and Orange City Council will continue over the next few months as the software is further tested. Updates will be made to ensure it has all the required functionality and the settings are suited to the Orange system.
鈥淲e are really pleased to know that our Industry Partners Martin Haege and Samantha McGufficke are satisfied.鈥 Prof Lambert says. 鈥淲e hope that the POAWS software can be useful to other Councils in the future.鈥
The connection between the Adelaide researchers and Orange City Council was forged through the . For further information about the POAWS system, read the Intelligent Water Decisions Group blog posts: 听补苍诲 .
