Water system design and analysis can be costly, time consuming, and challenging for municipal agencies. The combination of CAD, GIS, simulation and analysis features needed to produce a useful model usually means bouncing between different technologies and platforms. Often, it's a marginal CAD-enabled platform that requires export to a GIS platform, or a limited bolt-on tool that is tied to a GIS platform, neither supporting the iterative need...
