Philippines' Davao City Selects Bentley WaterGEMS
 EXTON,
PA, Jul 30, 2009 – Davao City Water District (DCWD), the largest water
district in the outside of Metro Manila, has selected Bentley’s WaterGEMS as
its new water distribution modeling and analysis software. DCWD currently
has more than 166,000 service connections and was recognized in the region
as the “Most Outstanding Water District of 2002” by the Local Water
Utilities Administration (LWUA) and as the “Top Water District Performer of
2006” by the Philippine Association of Water Districts. DCWD is using
WaterGEMS’ advanced model building, optimization, and infrastructure
management tools to design and conduct feasibility studies for new water
systems, as well as to rehabilitate the city’s existing water systems. In
addition, WaterGEMS played a central role in DCWD’s development of a water
management master plan with the capacity to supply potable and affordable
water to Davao City’s growing population for the next 20 years. DCWD’s
choice of WaterGEMS for these crucial projects was based on the software’s
efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use.
Rodora Gamboa, DCWD’s general manager, noted that adopting a technically
advanced, user-friendly product to sustain the utility’s water management
requirements for future generations is critical to its customers’ quality of
life. “With service connections growing over the past 16 years from 70,134
to more than 166,000, we need a distribution modeling and analysis product
that can help us develop and maintain a cost-effective water system with
adequate capacity to meet our growing needs,” she explained.
DCWD’s engineers are particularly impressed with WaterGEMS’ scenario
management capability, which enables multiple scenarios or “what-if”
simulations to be contained within a single file. They find this feature to
be very useful when comparing alternative approaches to rehabilitation
projects, as well as when modeling pump control scenarios to support
energy-saving initiatives.
General Manager Gamboa concluded, “WaterGEMS allows us to analyze,
design, and build water supply systems more efficiently, which results in
greater savings in time and money. Thanks to WaterGEMS, we can analyze
different water sources and variable demand scenarios with ease, and can
make sound operational decisions to meet our water project objectives.”
