Companhia Águas de Joinville Keeps Clean Water Flowing For 600,000 Residents In South Brazil

Amid constant demands to optimize company resources, as well as maintain quality service and clean water supply to the population, Companhia Águas de Joinville (CAJ) initiated a strategic hydraulic modeling project in 2020. The project would optimize investments and operations based on better knowledge on how the supply system works and how to proactively address network issues.

During that year, the city faced the worst water crisis in 30 years. With regular three-month drought periods plaguing Joinville over the years, 2020 brought worsening conditions. Committed to bringing clean water and well-being to their consumers 100% of the time, CAJ capitalized on its original digital network analysis initiative, looking to develop a water contingency plan for these dry periods to reduce water production on the fragile source without affecting the people in the area.
