Crawl, Walk, Run: A Practical Digital Twin Guide for Water Utilities
Learn how small and midsize water utilities can use a phased digital twin strategy to modernize operations, improve efficiency, and build a more resilient water future—starting with the data you already have.
Small and midsize water utilities are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Facing challenges from aging infrastructure, climate-driven stress, and tightening budgets, the need for smarter, more efficient operations has never been greater. While digital transformation offers a path forward, the prospect of a large, complex digital twin implementation can be daunting. Many utilities struggle to find a realistic starting point that delivers measurable value without requiring major upfront investment or a complete overhaul of their data systems.
This e-book introduces a practical “crawl, walk, run” methodology for adopting a water utility digital twin. Learn how OpenFlows WaterSight helps utilities begin their digital journey by unifying data they already have from systems such as SCADA, GIS, and billing. The guide outlines a clear roadmap: gain immediate insights (crawl), address known problems (walk), and build confidence through risk-based planning (run).
