Effective water and wastewater operations rely on accurate, accessible, and well‑governed data to support regulatory compliance, operational performance, and informed decision‑making. This seminar will explore common water data management challenges faced by utilities, including data silos, manual processes, data quality issues, and increasing reporting requirements. Attendees will learn best practices for structuring, validating, and managing operational data across treatment, distribution, and collection systems, with a focus on creating a reliable foundation for analysis, reporting, and long‑term asset management.
The session will include a practical demonstration of WIMS, a water information management system used by utilities to centralize operational and compliance data, streamline regulatory reporting, and support advanced analysis. Real‑world examples from utility operations will illustrate how standardized data management practices improve efficiency, reduce risk, and enable more proactive operational insights. The seminar is designed for water and wastewater professionals seeking to strengthen their data management strategies and better leverage operational data to support day‑to‑day operations and long‑term planning.
Topics covered:
- Principles and best practices for water and wastewater data management to support regulatory compliance and defensible reporting
- Application of structured data management approaches to improve operational efficiency, data quality, and informed decision‑making
- Practical instruction through a live demonstration of a water information management system (WIMS) and utility‑based use cases
Who should attend: This workshop is intended for water and wastewater operators, engineers, technologists, supervisors, compliance staff, and utility managers who are responsible for operational data collection, regulatory reporting, and the use of data to support effective treatment, distribution, collection, and wastewater operations.
