GIS-Driven Integrated Water System Management
Water, being a critical resource, is experiencing an increase in competitive demand from across sectors. Furthermore, climate change poses significant challenges to its sustainable availability and management. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by providing holistic water system management from Source to Tap. Through an adaptive approach, Esri’s GIS technology platform – ArcGIS, has achieved remarkable results in ongoing Government Programs and Water Schemes across India.
Session Objective
The session lays emphasis on how Water Programs, focused on Resource to Distribution, are evolving in India, and the role of ArcGIS technology in facilitating project workflows with a water-sensitive approach.
Join us at the Water Summit – GIS-Driven Integrated Water System Management on September 4, 2025, during the Esri India User Conference. Experience live demonstrations of ArcGIS-powered solutions to streamline field data collection, enhance project monitoring & reporting, serve efficient data management, and enable analytical modules for improved overall operational efficiency. Learn how cloud-based GIS solutions allow for scalability, shareability, and security of project workflows.
