Applications in proactive operations
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
The real power of a live modeling system or Digital Twin comes to life when it’s used to drive a more proactive approach to managing your daily water operations. This section will showcase some of the key applications that enable this shift. One of the most impactful is real-time anomaly detection. Imagine your live model continuously comparing its predicted hydraulic behavior (based on current inputs) with actual sensor readings from the field.
When a significant, unexplained deviation occurs — like a sudden pressure drop in an area where demand hasn't changed, or an unexpected increase in flow from a pump station — the system can automatically flag this as an anomaly. This could be the earliest possible indication of a new leak or pipe burst, a sensor starting to malfunction, or some other unexpected operational issue, allowing for much faster investigation and response.
