The objective of this webcast is to introduce water system managers, CFOs, planners, engineers and operations staff and consultants to the logical next step once your water or wastewater system model is complete. Integrating a formal optimization technique with a calibrated simulation model enables utilities to perform exhaustive options analyses to identify several viable low-cost solutions that meet specified service levels.
The key message is that an optimization approach helps modelers develop better performing, more reliable and lower cost solutions. Simulation modeling, in contrast, relies on the modeler to develop solutions using a trial-and-error approach with often limited budget and limited time.
The webcast will present an overview of optimization and discuss current state-of-the-art techniques. Case studies to demonstrate the application of optimized decision support in water master planning, operations, rehab and replacement, and wastewater collection systems will be presented.

This online event will last for 60 minutes, with a substantial amount of time dedicated to a "live" question and answer session for attendees. The price to attend starts at $65. Please reserve your spot today as there is limited seating available. |
Join us for this webcast to learn:
- What is optimized decision support?
-
What is the difference between a simulation approach and an optimization approach?
-
How is optimization being used to help utilities develop better solutions?
-
What formal optimization techniques are being used for water system problems?
- What caveats and cautions need to be addressed
- What real-world examples can be cited?
- What levels of cost savings and other benefits are being achieved?
- How multi-objective optimization can provide even more benefits
|
Who Should Attend?
This webcast should be attended by water system managers and CFOs that want lower-cost solutions and by utility planners, engineers and operations staff and consultants that are ready to move beyond simulation modeling alone. This webcast is not software or vendor-specific. |
