In 1886, Bathurst, NSW, Australia, became the first regional town with a piped town-water system. Bathurst Regional Council is responsible for managing drinking water and wastewater for around 43,000 residents. It uses SCADA to leverage data collection and process control.
With an expanding population, and a need to ensure water security, BRC recognized a need to modernize its water management processes. Despite its use of SCADA, BRC faced challenges with effective data management and a need to enhance its monitoring, public health risk management, and event prediction.
BRC turned to D2K Information, an Australian company specializing in water-quality information and knowledge generation systems. D2K’s CCPWatch® offered advanced capabilities for processing data into actionable insights, facilitating efficient monitoring and reporting of critical control points (CCPs), and supporting informed decisionmaking.
“AlgaeWatch™ and the D2K team have allowed us to completely review and refocus the way we manage algal risks. Once a laborious process, information is now generated in a timely manner and format. The easy-to-use interface and predictive information, allow us to rapidly respond to and scan algal trends and future plan, a real step-change for us.”
