Introducing InfoWorks WS Pro

00:04

InfoWorks WSPro,

00:05

better known by users simply as WSpro,

00:08

is a tool for water utility engineers and

00:11

professionals who model and simulate water distribution systems.

00:15

WSR uses a database system that provides

00:18

a flexible hierarchy for managing model data.

00:22

This allows multiple users,

00:24

whether they are in the same team or across teams,

00:26

to access the same database and work on one model

00:29

simultaneously using flags and the commit history to track changes.

00:35

It also offers comprehensive database management facilities

00:38

which allow users to organize their work logically

00:41

and efficiently.

00:43

They can see the overall structure of the database,

00:46

break it down into its objects,

00:47

and view any part of the data itself.

00:50

Administrators who create the database can assign

00:53

varying levels of rights to their users.

00:56

By building plans with WS Pro,

00:59

users can simulate operations of water distribution systems,

01:02

which includes evaluating the performance of a wide range of pipes,

01:06

pumps,

01:07

tanks,

01:08

and valves.

01:09

They can test pump and valve control,

01:12

flushing,

01:13

water quality,

01:14

emergency response,

01:16

leak identification,

01:17

and network resilience.

01:20

The criticality of the infrastructure can be analyzed as well

01:23

to improve the safety and quality of the entire system.

01:28

The results of these simulations can be replayed within the network views,

01:32

displayed in many types of graphs and exported as

01:34

spreadsheets or documents to be shared with stakeholders.
