Beyond Simulation Modeling - Optimized Decision Support for Water Systems

The objective of this webcast is to introduce water system managers, CFOs, planners, engineers and operations staff and consultants to the logical next step once your water or wastewater system model is complete. Integrating a formal optimization technique with a calibrated simulation model enables utilities to perform exhaustive options analyses to identify several viable low-cost solutions that meet specified service levels. The key message is that an optimization approach helps modelers develop better performing, more reliable and lower cost solutions. Simulation modeling, in contrast, relies on the modeler to develop solutions using a trial-and-error approach with often limited budget and limited time. For more details and registration click here
