They emphasize the water sector’s op- portunity to take advantage of advanced technologies and dramatically shift management decision making. While there are varying ideas of what an IWS may be, there’s not one singular definition. Some see the concept as a small piece to help to analyze and process data both historical and real-time data; others see this integration as an opportunity to overhaul their entire decision making or performance management approach. How far each utility or facility chooses to take the IWS concept will vary, but many water sector organizations have produced resources to help guide these choices. KEY MECHANISMS The Water Science & Engineering Center within the Water Environment Federation issued a technical report that identifies the key mechanisms needed for utilities to start and run a successful intelligent water systems program. Titled, Intelligent Water Systems: The Path to a Smart Utility, the report explores the following 10 topics. • Data prioritization — First and foremost, utilities must decide what data is needed and how the data collected will fit into the ultimate strategy and goal of the utility. Data should not be collected for the sake of collection; collecting data takes time, staff, and money. The right data, at the right time, needs to be captured. This critical data must be accurate, com- plete, and aligned with business and operational management requirements. • Data governance — Prior to data capture, system managers need to formulate a data gov- ernance approach. This includes identifying data stewardship, storage and access rights, and archiving and deletion protocols. For example, by deciding these responsibilities ahead of time, data processing issues can be ironed out. Developing a data management and gover- nance plan also can help reveal gaps in the system. • Data capture — This aspect is probably the most notable component of the process. With all the new and emerging technologies, utilities have vast options for how to capture data and how much to capture. With many new technologies promoting real-time data capture, it is important to note the difference between real-time data and data frequency. While real- time data deals with how quickly the user receives measured data, data frequency refers to how often the data is gathered. thelwea.com • APRIL 2018 7 INTELLIGENT WATER SYSTEMS • Data validation — With speed and an abundance • Performance reporting and visualization — IWS is not of tools choices, data validation becomes an important always just for predictive and decision-making tools, it also component.

  • 2014 Shreveport Mayoral Forum Candidate Responses
    2014 SHREVEPORT MAYORAL FORUM CANDIDATE RESPONSES PURPOSE This document was produced by PACE (People Acting for Change and Equality) for the purpose of sharing the responses of the 2014 Shreveport Mayoral Candidates to questions regarding LGBT issues. This document is broken down by question, or questions, as some issues were broken down into multiple questions, with the responses from each candidate following directly after. Unless otherwise noted with the bolded text “PACE NOTE”, the response is as close to what the candidate said as possible. At the forum, each question began with a different candidate, so the answers here are presented in the order they were answered. QUESTION 1 Richard Florida, a noted public policy expert, has looked at a key factor in whether a city will thrive or struggle—whether newcomers to the city skew toward college grads or high school dropouts. This is reported in his recent publication in The Atlantic titled: “High School Dropouts and College Grads are Moving to Very Different Places.” He finds the best predictor of whether educated talent comes to a city is the concentration of gays and lesbians in that city. This is because an active and visible gay and lesbian population signals the open-mindedness, tolerance, and diversity valued by the highly educated. From the most recent census data, Shreveport/Bossier City has 23.5% college graduates among adults 25 and older, well below the national average of 28.5%. Austin, Texas, a magnet for creative class knowledge-based workers, has 40.6%. In 2012, Caddo’s high school graduation rate was 63.4% while Austin’s was 82.5%.
