Water utilities face growing pressure from aging infrastructure, climate risk, and regulation. Despite more data, fragmentation limits action. This e-book on digital maturity for water utilities shows how to connect systems, improve decision-making, and build resilience. Water utilities are being asked to deliver more with less certainty than ever before. Across the sector, leaders are…

A new white paper from Bluefield Research examines how climate pressure, tightening regulation, and constrained engineering capacity are forcing a rethink of drainage design and the role of integrated software. Stormwater is no longer just a drainage problem. It’s a growing financial, regulatory, and operational challenge, one that is reshaping how infrastructure gets designed and delivered. From Hurricane Ida flooding…

MMTH, a design firm specializing in sports stadiums, fields, and facilities, has always been driven by a singular vision: to create exceptional sports facilities that bring communities together. Notable projects include Kansas University’s Kivisto Field. On one of their latest projects, Silver Lake High School’s sports complex in Kansas, they showcased their innovation in designing…
Drainage design

Hydrology studies how water enters a system (rainfall and runoff), while hydraulics focuses on how water moves through that system (flow, velocity, flooding). The difference is very important when modeling. Hydrology and hydraulics are often used interchangeably — but they solve very different parts of the same problem: In short: In other words, hydrology defines…

AI in water utilities is no longer a future concept – it is already influencing how infrastructure is managed, how investments are prioritized, and how operational decisions are made. But the biggest impact is not the technology itself. It is how organizations choose to redesign work around it. Something stood out to me while I…

Autodesk is standardizing the Info360 platform on Esri as the GIS system of record across Info360 Asset and Info360 Insight. This aligns operational data, asset intelligence, and capital planning with the same authoritative GIS environment that utilities and water engineering consultants already use to manage infrastructure projects. It also reflects deeper alignment between Autodesk and Esri,…
