"You can't really manage your water resources unless you can measure it," said Lisa Williams with ADWR.
Hitachi Vantara's automated data system is able to manage the resources much faster, allowing ADWR more time to actually analyze data instead of looking for it. ADWR didn't have this capability for years, meaning precious time was lost simply looking for data, including information on more than 220,000 groundwater wells, the history of water use in Arizona, and more.She also says the state can now focus on protecting and conserving its water supply which may better equip Arizona for upcoming water resource challenges.
