From Models to Applications: Data-Driven Solutions for the UK Water Industry

The water industry worldwide faces increasing challenges in management, ensuring operational sustainable efficiency, water and infrastructure resilience. This presentation explores how advanced data analytics, numerical modelling, and bespoke software development can transform these challenges into actionable solutions. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Ehsan Kazemi will present case studies that demonstrate the development and application of innovative tools tailored to industry needs. Key highlights include the deployment of predictive models for failure risk in water distribution systems, automated detection of sewer defects, and the integration of GIS-based tools for efficient water quality and environmental management. These efforts not only optimise asset management but also enhance decision-making processes for stakeholders. Emphasising the importance of bridging theoretical models and real world applications, the presentation will discuss the integration of cutting-edge technologies with domain expertise. Attendees will gain insights into practical methodologies, the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the tangible impacts of these solutions on the industry’s evolving landscape. Join us to explore the intersection of science, technology, and application, shaping the future of water management
