Enhance your current network modeling system by linking it to GIS data. This identifies network elements, including plants, pipe segments, and service meters, and you can map the results layered over terrain to incorporate elevation points. GIS provides you with an intelligent, spatially enabled database so that job planning, equipment inventory, and flow analysis become an automated procedure integrated into one system.

You can also represent a project in three-dimensional form to visualize the impact of facilities on landscape during the design process. This data can then be combined with other computer-aided engineering functions to assist engineering designers in the planning and scenario testing of various designs.

You can use GIS to improve planning and engineering tasks such as

• Water distribution system master planning
• Well log and data management
• Development review and approval
• Water flow analysis
• Capital improvement project tracking
