Success Story | Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran GIS-based Hydraulic Modeling of Rahimatpur Municipal Council Water Supply System

Bentley Expert

Rahimatpur, Maharashtra, India

Project

With a goal to transform Rahimatpur’s existing water distribution network to provide adequate water to the city’s rural villages 24×7 while reducing non-revenue water, Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) needed a GIS-based hydraulic model with district-metered area sectorization to design the proposed water system and present it to the local Municipal Council. Given the Municipal Council’s inexperience in water management combined with three parallel workflows modeling, designing, and analyzing the water network, MJP required a collaborative, integrated approach to complete the INR 5 million project.

Facts

MJP used WaterGEMS as its GIS-based solution to transform Rahimatpur’s existing water supply system, designing a sustainable 24×7 water supply network to provide adequate water to existing residents while reducing non-revenue water.
The interoperability of Bentley WaterGEMS enabled MJP to integrate with ArcGIS and AutoCAD models, enhancing collaboration and information mobility to optimize hydraulic output.
Working in a common modeling environment using Bentley software reduced design errors, accelerating project delivery.
The ability to simulate various pumping scenarios and optimize tank capacity improved energy consumption and reduced operational costs on this INR 5 million project.

“WaterGEMS helped us in various aspects while modeling, analyzing, and designing the water network.”
