GIS AND WATER NETWORK MANAGEMENT

摘要

An effective GIS (Geographic Information System) is an important tool for water utilities as it can readily help manage supply to homes and businesses by producing information to enable improved network management decisions. Water utilities are increasing their use of GIS technology to integrate information and applications with a geographic component into one manageable system. The advantage of such integration is that it facilitates the organisation, management, analysis and dissemination of network information sourced from various databases, while maintaining data integrity and supporting increased focus on customer service. This paper describes the GIS used by ActewAGL.
