In March 2003, Black & Veatch started a project to streamline the hydraulic and water quality modeling processes for one of the largest wholesale water suppliers in Florida. The water supplier delivers water from fourteen different sources to more than two million people in six different communities.
The client needed a way for its staff of water quality, planning, and engineering professionals to perform hydraulic simulations on a regular basis. However, getting all of the staff up to speed on the use of the model and the underlying hydraulics would have been expensive and time-consuming.
