Case Study: Murrumbidgee Irrigation improves water data quality and system efficiency with Aquarius from Aquatic Informatics

Murrumbidgee Irrigation saves a week or two of data analysis with Aquatic Informatics

Murrumbidgee Irrigation (MI), one of Australia's largest private irrigation companies, faced significant challenges in managing and modeling water data for its extensive network. They needed to modernize their system to move from a reactive to a proactive approach for water delivery, which required accurately forecasting demand seven days in advance to avoid water loss or impacts on agricultural productivity. To address this, they worked with vendor Aquatic Informatics and implemented their AQUARIUS Time-Series software.

The solution from Aquatic Informatics provided a single source of truth for all hydrological data, centralizing information from over 1,600 sites. This automated data validation and correction, greatly improving data quality, reliability, and timeliness. As a result, MI saved significant time in data compilation and reporting, gained the ability to react to situations within hours instead of weeks, and made better long-term planning decisions. This led to reduced water losses, improved system efficiency, and a higher level of service for their customers.
