Transforming Urban Water Networks with Digital Innovation

Delivering continuous, equitable, and reliable water supply is one of the greatest challenges facing urban utilities across India. As cities grow and infrastructure becomes more complex, utilities need smarter ways to plan, monitor, and operate their networks.

Join Autodesk and guest speaker Dr. Sanjay Dahasahasra, a recognised water infrastructure expert, for an insightful webinar exploring how digital hydraulic modelling, GIS integration, SCADA, and digital twin technologies are enabling the transition from intermittent water supply to 24x7 Pressurised Water Supply Systems (PWSS).

Discover how engineering planning combined with real-time operational intelligence can improve service delivery, reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW), optimise network pressure, and support data-driven decision making.

The session will demonstrate how Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro supports the creation of hydraulic models, Operational Zones (OZs), and District Metered Areas (DMAs), while showcasing integrated workflows that connect GIS, operational data, and digital twin capabilities to enhance planning, operations, and long-term asset management.

Through practical project examples and implementation lessons presented by Dr. Sanjay Dahasahasra, you'll gain valuable insights into developing GIS-based asset databases, planning continuous water supply networks, improving pressure management, reducing leakage, and integrating hydraulic models with SCADA for smarter utility operations.
