Aguas de Alicante is one of Spain’s oldest water utilities, with roots dating back to 1898 when potable water was first brought to the city of Alicante. It operates under a public-private model and manages the integrated water cycle — including water capture, treatment, distribution, sewerage, and wastewater purification — for Alicante and surrounding municipalities.…

Serving millions of residents across Orange County is no small task. For Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), it means operating and maintaining a vast, complex wastewater system while balancing aging infrastructure and budget constraints – they have a big responsibility to use public funds wisely. “OC San’s mission in serving 2.6 million residents is…

The Woodborough Park neighborhood in Toronto is part of the Fairbank-Silverthorn area, which experiences significant flooding challenges, especially during heavy rainfall events. Their two big problems are a long history of basement flooding and sewer system overloads. Like many North American cities without separate sewer and water systems, they struggle with CSOs (Combined Sewer Overflows),…
Hydraulic modeling
Utilities are increasingly expected to move faster – from reacting to system conditions to anticipating what comes next. In a recent Autodesk Water Drop walkthrough video, Tim Medearis walks you through how utilities can compare real-time SCADA data with hydraulic model results and forecast future system behavior by connecting Info360 Insight and InfoWater Pro. This…

Autodesk AI inside InfoDrainage represents a leap forward in drainage design technology, bringing Machine Learning capabilities directly into the workflows that engineers use daily. This artificial intelligence integration, powered by the InfoDrainage Machine Learning Deluge tool, may transform how professionals approach overland flow analysis and stormwater control placement. That is the set-up for Civil Tech…
Drainage design
An artificial wetland is a constructed ecosystem designed to manage water and pollution through engineered processes that are designed to mimic natural processes using plants, soils, and microbes to treat wastewater or storm runoff. As a type of treatment wetlands, artificial wetland systems serve as a comprehensive ecological infrastructure for water quality improvement, supporting environmental…
Sustainability
As climate volatility and urban growth intensify, drainage systems are becoming a frontline resilience challenge. Across the UK and globally, heavier storms and expanding impermeable surfaces are overwhelming legacy sewer networks and increasing flood risk. These are a few reasons why regulation has been shifting toward more sustainable outcomes – and that’s why SuDS (Sustainable…
Drainage design
As urban areas densify and climate-driven flood risk increases, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have shifted from “nice to have” to essential — and in many places, effectively planning-required. Yet many organisations still struggle to deliver SuDS consistently due to fragmented processes, inconsistent requirements, skills shortages, and slow approvals. In our latest webinar, which was hosted…

With heavy short-term rainfall events becoming more intense, it’s critical that Australia’s flood maps are dynamically altered to include the most up-to-date ARR guidelines. Because our software offers customizable rainfall calculations, you can adjust equations to go beyond standard calculations – to account for climate change or to apply specific details that affect your location. Australia is…
Storm, sewer, flood
The art of hydraulic modeling straddles the intersection of creative ingenuity and technical prowess. Can AI agents help you be more creative and technically proficient even if you don’t have a background in computer programming? Creating an effective and accurate hydraulic model isn’t just about ingesting all of your data, but also about getting all…
