Do more better, smarter, faster ... for less, and unlock more value from your water infrastructure

AquaTwin Water

Built exclusively on ArcGIS Pro®, AquaTwin Water is the next-generation AI-powered geocentric digital twin software for safe, reliable, sustainable and resilient water infrastructure. Design and size new water infrastructure, retrofit existing aging infrastructure, provide adequate capacity to fight fires, forecast demands, optimize operations of tanks and pumps, reduce energy usage, investigate water quality problems, plan flushing operations, and prepare for emergencies. And armed with advanced simulation capabilities, you can model contamination threats and evaluate resilience to security threats, climate change or natural disasters.

A comprehensive 64-bit feature-packed modeling and analysis software extension for ArcGIS Pro®, AquaTwin Water lets utilities predict how their water systems will perform during disruptive incidents and determine how to best absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to such incidents and increase resilience. Its powerful simulation and analysis tools can help water utilities to explore the capacity of their systems to handle disruptive incidents and guide the planning necessary to make them more resilient over time. Users are now able to proactively solve or prevent problems, make confident decisions, execute quickly on a consistent basis, and plan and shape a better future for their communities.

  • Create digital twin directly from Esri utility networks/Local Government database.
  • Update/synch digital twin/model directly from GIS.
  • All input/output data in one native Geodatabase. No external or silo databases. No data duplication. Up to 60x faster data processing speed.
  • Automatically assign node elevations from DEM/DTM.
  • Comprehensive set of GIS data validation and clean-up tools.
  • Create digital twin from multiple sources including ArcGIS Online, geodatabase, shapefiles, DBFs, CMMS, billing data, etc.
  • Automatically convert pumps and valves with point features in GIS to links (i.e., from nodes to links).
  • Build link-node connectivity based on GIS data.
  • Perform very fast and accurate hydraulic and dynamic water quality simulations, including multi-source tracing.
  • Models turbines, constant power, variable-speed, fixed-flow or fixed-pressure pumps.
  • All input data and output results for all network elements stored in the geodatabase for quick and effective review and analysis.
  • Determine impact of asset failure on your network hydraulic and water quality performance.
  • Determine how your water infrastructure system operates under normal or abnormal conditions; assess its capacity to handle disruptive incidents and develop the planning necessary to make it more resilient over time.
  • Pinpoint service disruption and report population impacted, pressure and demand shortfall, disconnected junctions, remaining water service availability, and pipes with excessive headloss and velocity.
  • Identify worst case scenarios and efficient repair strategies.
  • Plan for and practice responding to emergencies
  • Reduce risk
  • Use AI for demand forecasting, anomaly detection, and time-series pattern prediction.
  • Use native ArcGIS Pro data selection and query tools.
  • Use all native ArcGIS Pro Query Builder and Geoprocessing tools.
  • Create and save Queries and Selections using a select or Structured Query Language (SQL) expression.
  • Query from multiple sources including hydraulic/water quality results and external layers (e.g., land use) and databases (e.g., CMMS).
  • Quickly compute available and maximum fire flows at hydrants while maintaining minimum required residual pressures both locally and system-wide to identify where fire protection is inadequate.
  • Fire flows can be computed for a single hydrant, a group of selected hydrants, or all hydrants in a pressure zone or in the system.
  • Quickly compute maximum fire flows at hydrants while maintaining maximum velocity constraint in pipes.
  • Use fast and stable exact non-iterative analytical solutions for fire flow computations as opposed to slower, less reliable iterative numerical solutions.
  • Automatically allocate fire flow demands at junctions/hydrants based on any point (e.g., user classification) or polygon GIS layer (e.g., land user type).
  • Import fire flow demands directly from any database table.
  • Multiple nearby hydrants provide fire flow at the same time for the same duration or at different times and different durations.
  • Two or more fires are occurring at the same time for the same duration or at different times and different durations, at opposite ends of town (i.e., different geographic locations).
  • Since many hydrants cannot individually provide sufficient fire flow, the Wildfire Risk and Resilience Analysis tool automatically groups and allocates fire flows at two nearest hydrants and sequentially analyzes all hydrant groups for the entire selection set (e.g., pressure zone, entire system).
  • Automatically compute maximum available fire flow at the two nearest hydrants flowing simultaneously for all hydrant groups in the selection set.
  • Integrate wildfire planning efforts with water infrastructure planning to improve water system and community resilience and reliability in the face of increased wildfire risk.
  • Identify key risks, areas of concern, and develop hazard reduction strategies that will reduce the impact of wildfire to life and property.
  • Develop reliable and cost-effective actions that improve mitigation, planning, response, and recovery activities.
  • Inform Capital Improvement Program to evaluate and prioritize water infrastructure and wildfire resilience.
  • Build a reliable fire-resilient water infrastructure system for community protection.
  • Create, edit and manage an unlimited number of scenarios using built-in parent-child relationship.
  • Generate new scenarios, switch between existing scenarios, run multiple scenarios, and compare results from different scenarios.
  • Build, view and edit an unlimited number of scenario alternatives with intuitive single-click alternative sets manager.
  • Automatically compare, identify and review input data changes/differences between scenarios.
  • Automatically redraw network map for any scenario (e.g., subnetwork, pressure zone, etc.).
  • Instantly create, review and analyze new facilities scenarios directly from ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Portal or ArcSDE.
  • Develop phased, multi-year roadmap (CIP) for creating, maintaining and funding present and future infrastructure needs.
  • Quickly simulate, review and analyze any number of CIP and development scenarios within the same geodatabase.​
  • Compare results of a simulation against measured field data (e.g., pressure, fluoride, chlorine, flow, tank level, etc.)
  • Use statistics report (error statistics, correlation plot, mean comparisons) to show how well simulated results match actual field measurements.
  • Display, review and analyze results using dynamic analytic tools including vivid dashboards, heat maps, 2D and 3D mapping, contours, graphs, profiles, tables, and reports.
  • Graph and compare results for multiple scenarios.
  • Graph results for multiple network elements for quick review and comparison.
