The Umngeni Water WRMDSS (water resources management system).

The WRMDSS provides web-based data capture for geographically dispersed Umgeni Water offices. Data such as dam levels, river flow, wastewater treatment volumes, and rainfall is captured by staff on a daily basis. This data is then validated and stored in a central database at head office. Detailed web reports and automated email reports are generated and disseminated within Umgeni Water, displaying data such as historic reservoir trajectories, treatment plant intake and sales, reservoir levels, and tabular reports ready for quarterly reporting documents.

Development of the integrated annual and real-time operating rules for the Western Cape Water Supply System (WCSS)

An online decision support system was setup to assist in the improved management of the system. This integrated hydraulic models within a water resources modelling framework, in an operational system which optimised releases and provided early warnings on the Western Cape Water Supply System. Information was published to a set of management dashboards that were accessible over the internet.
