Innovyze announced that following a competitive review, the General Directorate for Water and Sewerage of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Iraq, has elected to deploy multiple licenses of Innovyze’s InfoWater Suite, the industry’s premier ArcGIS-centric water supply and distribution modeling, management and optimization software.
Within the framework of the Water Supply Improvement Project under the Ministry of Municipality and Tourism for the Kurdistan Region, InfoWater software will be used to develop detailed, accurate models of the water networks of the cities of Erbil (population 800,000), Duhok (population 300,000), Sulaymaniyah (population 770,000) and Halabjah (population 58,000). The networks comprise a total of approximately 2,700 km of water mains. The models will be used to optimize capital planning and determine cost-effective system expansion and improvement strategies aimed at ensuring a safe, stable water supply. The improved water supplies will also contribute to social and economic rehabilitation in Iraq.
“Network modeling is one of the most powerful and viable means of developing sound, cost-effective and reliable solutions for managing complex water infrastructures — and Innovyze continues to lead the industry in this field,” said Adel AbouJaoude, Ph.D., Associate and Environmental Engineering Department Manager at Khatib & Alami, a leading engineering and utility solutions provider. “The superior ArcGIS-centric solutions delivered by Innovyze are far and away the easiest, fastest, and most powerful engineering GIS modeling and design software we’ve seen or used. They also offer the best value in terms of features and functions. Innovyze products make master planning fast, easy, cost-effective, and accurate, giving us more power to not only improve operations, performance and integrity in our clients’ existing systems by correcting deficiencies, but plan the new facilities they need to accommodate rapid growth. Our partnership with Innovyze will play a critical role in enabling us to reach all these goals.” Read More
