Hydro-Logic® Aquator is a modelling software platform that enables modellers, hydrologists, engineers and analysts to create and run complex models of real-world water resource supply networks and systems, giving water utilities, regulators and consultants the critical insight they need in order to make better water management decisions.
The software incorporates a full component toolbox that enables the modelling of all components typically present in a water resource system. Complex operating rules can be developed that accurately reflect real-world operational constraints such as reservoir control curves, abstraction license conditions, minimum flow requirements and leakage.
As part of the Hydro-Logic® solution set, Hydro-Logic® Aquator has been developed by, for and with expert water industry professionals to ensure that every output may be optimised to match supply with demand, whatever the population or climate pressures.
Hydro-Logic® Aquator is also the only water resource supply software in the world approved to use Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) to customise its models—making it uniquely capable of helping people to address their most important water management challenges.
Applications
- Conjunctive/mixed use water resource systems
- Public water supply
- River catchments, lake and reservoirs
- Navigation and canal systems
- Hydropower
- Irrigation resource management
Plan and manage water supply and demand
Hydro-Logic® Aquator enables water providers to determine whether or not existing or planned water networks are able to supply sufficient water to meet customer demand—and to take action accordingly to ensure uninterrupted supply to residential, commercial and industrial customers now and into the future.
Models help users to identify, assess and mitigate supply risks such as population changes and climate disruptions, helping utilities to deliver robust strategic and operational water resource plans that improve their costs of operation, investment and resource deployment.
Audit suppliers and develop policy
Environmental and legislative agencies need to understand the supply and demand models used by water providers, and they need to factor in future supply and demand in order to develop meaningful water abstraction policies. Hydro-Logic® Aquator provides this critical insight.
Develop the right models for your system
From simple models with a few components to large, complex stochastic models with over a thousand elements, Hydro-Logic® Aquator provides the modelling flexibility that water suppliers and environment agencies need to understand the water environment.
Improve hydropower profitability
Hydro-Logic® Aquator provides hydropower businesses with reliable, actionable insight into complex water resources systems, enabling them to assess develop optimal operating policies for turbine use (based on reservoir storage and energy prices) whilst meeting environmental factors or other constraints.
The platform allows simulation and analysis across a range of scenarios in order to generate in the most cost-effective way over the short, medium and long term. Scenarios of asset change or outage can be assessed for their impacts and/or benefits.
Answer critical questions
Hydro-Logic® Aquator can help users to address issues such as:
- Future climate change risks
- Asset management decision making
- Strategic scenario planning (e.g. water trading or transfers)
- Alternative option/solution testing
- System yield or availability estimation
- Extreme weather and system resilience testing
- Outage reviews and operational efficiency
- Reservoir or operational control curve optimization
The Hydro International consulting team offers modification options and will be happy to develop custom models to meet these kinds of applications as well as any others that you might require.
