Riyadh Region Water and Sewage Authority (RRWSA)View Interactive Map of SAG Winners 2001Implementation of the GIS project includes a comprehensive solution for all the water and sewerage networks that integrate Hydraulic modeling, maintenance system, call center, and billing system to the GIS through building different user interfaces.
Business Problem Riyadh Water & Sewerage Authority (RRWSA) has developed over the past ten years an extensive digital maps and database depicting the Citys entire water and sewer facility network (About 9500 and 2300 km for water and sewer networks respectively). The Authority faces many challenges in the day-to-day operation of the Citys water and sewer facility network and have discovered the value of GIS for improving their day-to-day operations to implement a direct link between the facility graphics and the tabular database defining the characteristics of each element including valves, pipe segments, services, and other system appurtenances by establishing a comprehensive data server and application environment for accessing and using this information by many departments to expand the capabilities and usefulness of the existing digital mapping system. Technology Implemented In order to implement the GIS for water and sewer networks with the latest technology available in the market, RWSA decided to choose a solution based on ESRI products with its new object oriented GIS model, the solution consist of using ArcFM for water, sewer and storm as base model for Geodatabase design, ArcInfo 8.1 as GIS software and Oracle database as database for hosting the Geodatabase. Development Team Engs.
