Broomfield, Colorado USA, March 19, 2008 — MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced the release of NetVIEW for H2OMAP Water, the industry’s premier and most comprehensive geospatial water distribution modeling and design software. NetVIEW delivers the unprecedented ability to publish geospatially located water distribution network models with GIS and hydraulic/water quality modeling data directly to the Google Earth™ environment, via a highly intuitive, graphically-rich, easy-to-use interface. The information displayed can then be interactively queried online, allowing engineers and planners to collaborate more effectively in developing better designs and operational improvements faster and more efficiently.
Built using Component and XML technologies, NetVIEW gives water utilities fast access to mission-critical GIS and modeling information as well as extensive data reporting capabilities critical to supporting water distribution management activities. The groundbreaking application enables faster, better-informed decisions by overlaying GIS and network modeling results on precision satellite imagery. This composite information can be shared across departments for a complete, accurate picture of the utility’s enterprise data and more efficient asset management and business planning.
NetVIEW reflects MWH Soft’s longstanding leadership in the water industry and its continuing commitment to delivering pioneering web-enabled spatial technology to improve the operation, maintenance, protection, and management of the nation’s water supply. Loaded with comprehensive modeling functionality, map generation, and spatial data analysis capabilities, it allows a wide range of users to employ a common spatial data source for their various business processes, regardless of whether or not they have engineering or GIS expertise. It also enables the production of stunning presentations to increase audience impact.
Users can display their water distribution network models in situ — and analyze, share, and view detailed hydraulic (e.g., flow, velocity, and pressure) and water quality (e.g., chlorine and water age) modeling results from any number of modeling scenarios — directly in Google Earth™. For the first time, they can easily visualize and map input data and modeling results with advanced network annotations, and superimpose contour maps directly on the system layout to streamline quality map production. Armed with detailed information on trends and/or problem areas, they can collaborate on improving system efficiency and performance and protecting public health. These enhanced capabilities create significant advantages for the enterprise—including greater operational efficiency and emergency preparedness, better planning, more informed decision making, increased infrastructure protection and reliability, improved public notification, and stronger customer ties.
“NetVIEW has the unique ability to bring together advanced water distribution network modeling and design with Google Earth’s reach and ease of use on a business process level. That makes it the logical choice for water utilities worldwide,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D, President and COO of MWH Soft. “Its instant web access and high-level integration and scalability allow utilities to broaden the reach of their spatial and modeling information. This expanded view gives them the critical knowledge they need to better secure, manage, protect and operate their hydraulic infrastructure systems. MWH Soft is very proud to offer this useful, utility-strength product to our H2OMAP Water GIS–based customers as we continue to lead the charge in the professional arena.”
