How Predictive Modeling Helps You Manage Your Water Mains

Water system managers are constantly making decisions about how to assess, maintain, and replace their water mains. Often, these decisions are made using a few data points (ex, age of the water main) combined with qualitative insights from those who know the system best.

Predictive modeling doesn’t displace these existing processes. But it does significantly improve your data which, in turn, improves your understanding of the infrastructure you manage. This enables you and your team to make better, more informed, more efficient, more defensible decisions on behalf of your customers (and to easily explain those decisions to internal and external stakeholders).

So how can predictive modeling actually help you manage your water mains?
