Aquasight Improves Utility Resiliency By Launching Its Automated Storm and Rain Heatmap Solution

Surface flooding and sewer overflows from more frequent, higher intensity and localized rain events pose severe risks to environment, public health, and sewer infrastructure. Historically, responses to these rain events have been more reactive in nature. This problem requires cities to adopt innovative solutions to address the impacts of a climate crisis and their underprepared infrastructure.

Aquasight’s ACE Rain Heatmaps and Storm Catalog solution provide critical insights to storm events in time for utilities to minimize flooding impacts or potential sewer overflows. It provides actionable, data-driven insights into current, past, and forecasted storm events, enabling all aspects of wastewater utility operations, from operator to utility executive, to make better, more informed decisions.

The GIS based solution provides rapid, automated, and on-the-fly live and historical storm event records correlated to each utility’s unique design storm distributions. It provides powerful analytics to make crucial accurate visualization of storm event characteristics for rapid, proactive response to the effects of extreme rainfall events. It also merges sewer flows and levels across sewer shed.

“Historically, rain data was used by engineering teams and was underutilized by utility executives and operating staff for proactive utility management. Aquasight’s solution meshes data from several sources for real time, data-driven decisions on where to divert the O&M resources during live events. The self-service analytics also help engineers build storm resistant infrastructure. Helping utilities make these impactful day-to-day decisions is our mission,” says Jonathan Hasson, Aquasight VP of Smart Water Solutions.
