Austin Water Initiatives & Coordination with Modeling / Planning

Water Forward AMI Operations Risk Model Disaggregated Demand Model Infrastructure Stability Modeling Enhancement Goals

• Near-real time operational support models
• Energy & water quality optimization models
• System health monitoring & zone integrity models
• Model more of the system – inverts needed
• Better understand & represent rainfall derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) characteristics
