The document discusses OptiNimbus, a cloud-based stormwater management platform that uses sensors and controls to intelligently manage stormwater and provide benefits such as reducing combined sewer overflows, improving water quality, preventing flooding, and providing predictive maintenance alerts. It has been deployed over 91 times and can optimize performance of both new and existing water infrastructure through active real-time control. OptiNimbus allows users to remotely monitor sites, analyze data, and interact with real-time forecasts to improve management of stormwater networks.
