New batch of Water Drops: Using LIDs/SUDs, soakwell/drywell design, culvert analysis
It’s been a dry fall in Colorado where I live (and indeed across the US). It’s also been a bit dry on the Water Drop workflow video front in the last month as many of us were meeting customers and industry regulars at Autodesk University. But you can consider this mini-drought over because we now…

Deciding between steady state and extended period simulations in InfoWorks ICM
It is not uncommon for numerical hydraulic models to inform the scale and size of built infrastructure. After all, one of the clear benefits of creating a model is the ability to experiment and test out your theories about how to optimize a design before you build. Thus, the validity of our built infrastructure ultimately…

AMP8 opportunities: Solving the UK’s CSO problems with hydraulic modelling
The recent AMP8 funding cycle is perhaps the best chance for water providers to secure funding for changing the way they monitor and solve for CSOs. We’ve written about it in our new white paper, AMP8’s unprecedented opportunities, a portion of which we’re excerpting here on the One Water Blog. How software can help manage…
