Introduction to Water Distribution Data Management

Water Distribution Data Management can be used to map water distribution assets, edit data, view system maps in the field and office, view asset reports, and collaborate with map notes.

It turns ArcGIS into a system for water distribution organizations to easily inventory their assets and keep information up to date. It provides simple to use interactive system maps and dashboards for office and field staff, and increases collaboration.

After deploying, organizations with no water distribution data can immediately begin mapping their water distribution systems using GPS or digitizing data with web or desktop software. Organizations with existing spatial water distribution data can load it and begin using the apps.
