Case Study: Murrumbidgee Irrigation achieves better data quality and operational efficiency with Aquatic Informatics AQUARIUS

AQUARIUS Improves Irrigation System Effciencies & Data Quality

Murrumbidgee Irrigation, a major Australian irrigation company, faced significant challenges in managing its hydrological data and forecasting water demand for its large, gravity-based delivery system. Inefficient data management and modelling made it difficult to optimize water delivery, leading to potential waste and service issues. To modernize its operations and gain a proactive approach, Murrumbidgee Irrigation worked with vendor Aquatic Informatics to implement the AQUARIUS Time-Series software.

The AQUARIUS solution centralized data from over 1,600 sites and numerous sources into a single, reliable system, automating corrections and validation. This provided Murrumbidgee Irrigation with high-quality, timely data, leading to substantial time savings in reporting and a significantly faster reaction time to operational issues. The implementation by Aquatic Informatics resulted in improved water utilization, better long-term planning decisions, and enhanced customer service.
