UNESCO-IHE Asset Management Tools
During the year 2008, a number of modeling tools related to Asset Management of Networked Water Utilities were developed by a number of students who completed MSc Degrees at IHE. In order to make the use of these tools as painless as possible, we have adopted (with permission) the Orange data mining tool developed by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Faculty of computer and information science, Ljubljana University to provide an integrated graphical user interface to the set of tools. We thank Janez Demsar, Blaz Zupan, Gregor Leban of Ai Lab for their cooperation in the interfacing phase.
Currently there are three integrated tools in the system.
- A tool for optimal zoning of water distribution networks
- A criticality analysis tool for asset management of utility networks
- A visual programming tool for implementing water safety plans for water supply schemes.
