InfoWater Demand Allocator brings you unprecedented speed, accuracy, and flexibility for calculating, distributing, and managing consumption data (also known as demands) in your network model. It fully automates junction node demand geographical allocation to ensure the development and simulation of credible hydraulic network models.

Using state-of-the-art geospatial polygon processing and advanced demand forecasting GIS technology, InfoWater Demand Allocator automatically and reliably calculates and distributes water consumption generated by your various customer classes (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational, etc.). It also considers both existing systems and future system conditions such as build-out and phased land use projections – a necessary feature for effectively staging your capital improvement program.

Demand Allocator Fully Supports ArcGIS Definition Queries

Working with huge data sets as part of your model build process is no longer an issue. InfoWater and all associated Suite Modules now fully support ArcGIS Definition Queries. This allows master planners and model builders to quickly use any subset of GIS data with blazing speed in relation to loading and using entire GIS data sets. This is especially important in regards to use of the Demand Allocator. In a typical large system, there may be many thousands and 10's of thousands of meter records (in the largest cases multiple 100's of thousands).

Allocating demands for these huge numbers of meters can be extremely time consuming. Using a simple Definition Query to identify only meters that meet your needs i.e. either commercial, residential, industrial, and others; or only ones that match a geographical areas such as each pressure zone, City A out of a County's worth of meter data, or other geographical data; are a couple instances of where this new capability will save hours, days, or weeks of manipulation of model background data.
