The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in water and wastewater utilities is rapidly gaining traction. Companies are upgrading from traditional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems to advanced asset management technologies, enhancing their ability to optimize resources, streamline operations, and improve infrastructure resilience through spatial data analysis and visualization.

This course will cover the fundamentals of GIS and its application in the water and wastewater sectors, focusing on:

  • Building datasets with emphasis on asset management and geometric networks, including utilizing data models and the utility network with ESRI
  • Implementing work orders and mobile field workforce management
  • Using GIS technology for data collection, analytics, and management
  • Exploring new technology trends in data collection, analytics, and management

Register today and take advantage of our team discounts for groups of 5 or more!

Learning Outcomes

  • Summarize basic GIS concepts in real-life scenarios
  • Work with data projections and coordinate systems
  • Perform grid to ground conversions
  • Integrate CAD data in GIS
  • Evaluate geometric and utility network models
  • Use data collection tools and field maps
  • Analyze data and metrics for utilities
  • Utilize Operations Dashboard and ArcGIS Insights
  • Differentiate open-source GIS alternatives
  • Identify trends and future steps in technology
