Workshop: Data and decision making in the water sector
The water ecosystem, including utilities, municipalities, commercial consumers and residents, each have different needs and access to water related information. Decision Support Systems are a fundamental aspect for helping us better integrate and understand data. Whether it’s data for Water Quality, Metering, Weather Forecasting or Projection Modelling, we need data for making intelligent, cost-effective, and environmentally sounds decisions. Real-time and IoT-based technology is the driving innovative force. Join the NY Blue Tech network for a peek into cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing our decision-making capabilities.
Using the NYC Superfund site Newton Creek as a real world case study, participants will be challenged to provide their own insight for solving water management issues related to one of NYC’s most abused waterbodies.
