Founders’ Honor

To manage the dwindling resources of fresh water and to rise to the challenges brought by climate change, Maynilad Water Services sought to find other sources of water. The team determined that water reclamation facilities could help and used the Parañaque Reclamation Facility as its pilot project. The main challenge was ensuring that the clean, potable water from this facility reached customers throughout the distribution network.Already familiar with Bentley applications, Maynilad chose OpenFlows Water. Data collected from the field was used to calibrate the network model and provide projected changes in pressure and supply conditions. The ability to make updates in real time helped overcome the ever-changing requirements of the project. With its launch, the system provides an additional 10 million liters of water to Maynilad’s network and an estimated annual revenue of USD 2.21 million in its influence area. Fueled by this success, the team plans to put up more new water facilities throughout its service area.
