Data-Model Convergence

Turn on the Lights! South Bend, Indiana • Population: 101,000 • Median Household Income: $34,000 • Consent Decree: $860 million • 1.25-2.25 Billion Gallons Annual CSO Volume

Turn on the Lights

• Deploy area-wide sensor network and database • All data organized on a unified platform • Analytics turn data into actionable insight • Increase watershed understanding • Fully integrates into existing IT networks Turn on the Lights

• Analytics turn data into actionable insight Data-Model Convergence

• Host and continuously run hydraulic models with real time data • Model/data convergence provides cognitive, hyper accurate models • Run multiple model iterations in parallel to explore optimal alternatives • Hunt down, characterize and solve infiltration and inflow Data-Model Convergence

Storage Tank: “I’ve got lots of room. My price is $2 per

gallon”

Interceptor: . “I’m about half full. I’ve got capacity at $3 per gallon” .

Storage Tank: “I’m filling up quickly. I’ve got capacity at $3.50 per gallon” MH 30: “I’m about to overflow! I need to buy capacity!” Operate the Urban Watershed

Storage Tank: “Deal!”

MH 30: “Done!” South Bend, Indiana Results

Outcomes: • Eliminated dry weather overflows • Reduced wet weather

overflows by 75% 75% CSO Reduction • Reduced E. coli contribution by 55% • New plan saves $500 million

Sensor Network Agent Based Control Operate the Urban Watershed

Citywide inline storage strategy Reduced Overflow volume 64% and activations 68% with initial project Achieve compliance in less time with hundreds of millions in CIP cost avoidance Operate the Urban Watershed

Functionality: • Data-constructed model engine • Runs 1,000 sims every 15 minutes • Current conditions +/- 12 hours • Probabilistic distribution of future flows • Comprehensive situational awareness • Provides high-level recommendations Outcomes: • Increased continuity of operations • Operational knowledge aggregator • Training tool for new recruits • Forensic analysis platform Operate the Urban Watershed

Certify Performance, Solve I/I, • Sensor network of flow meters and rain gauges combined with analytics tools • Automated flow meter analytics report blockages to operations crews • Reduced the need for extensive I/I mitigation costs Thank You!
