Case Study: City of Orlando improves flood response and water data management with Aquatic Informatics

Optimizing Data Intelligence helps Orlando Protect its Citizens During Heavy Rain Events

The City of Orlando's Streets and Stormwater Division faced the challenge of managing vast amounts of water data from its extensive monitoring network. Their existing system, reliant on manual processes and spreadsheets, lacked data defensibility and was too labor-intensive, preventing them from effectively responding to increasing heavy rain events and citizen flooding complaints. To turn their data into an actionable asset, they sought a robust data management solution from vendor Aquatic Informatics.

Aquatic Informatics implemented its AQUARIUS platform to centralize and automate data management. The solution provided real-time data integration, robust QA/QC with an automatic audit log, and powerful analytics, enabling the city to proactively forecast flooding and dispatch crews efficiently. The results included streamlined operations, the public sharing of data via an online portal, and a newfound ability to be proactive rather than reactive, ultimately helping to protect citizens and reduce liability.
