Project requirements are presented and include:develop a tool to dynamically forecast waterresources needs;select strategy for managing all water resourcesto sustain planned development;select strategy for future reclaimed watermanagement;conduct modeling of future infrastructurealternatives (DW, RW, WW, Recharge); and,develop recommended schedule ofinfrastructure development and costs. IT solutions facilitate totalwater management planning including the following:demand module removed limitations onplanning projections;dashboard approach helped stakeholdersvisualize "what if" scenario planning;IT planning tools minimized back and forth;decisions were made in a single, fluid workshop; and,demand module facilitated model developmentand alternative evaluation.
