Water Security technologies and strategies are growing in importance today in the face of increasing disasters, contaminants and attacks. Whitewater Security, in partnership with Darlot Consulting and NICE, presents the critical elements of a water security solution
26. Water Utilities Needs Pyramid Control Water Crisis Identify Intentional or Unintentional Threat (e.g. Leakage/Contamination) Minimise Water Supply Infrastructure Vulnerabilities Ensure Continued Water Quality
40. System Architecture WaterwallTM WaterMonitoring Devices EarlyWarning Confirmation EventsManager Data Collection Physical SecuritySystems CommunicationsLayer Events & Procedures Log Rule Engine ERP Display Distribution System SCADA Public Health Contamination Spread Simulator Other ExternalSystems BlueBoxTM
48. BlueBoxTM Event Detection System Intelligently detects unusual water quality events, offering an innovative approach to time series analysis of highly variable data. Collects information from a wide range of different sensors Filters abnormal data manually and automatically Dynamically creates a baseline database Factors effect of equipment age. Takes into account the periodicity effect Can function efficiently with missing parameters User-friendly interface IDENTIFIES ABNORMAL SITUATIONS MINIMISESFALSE ALARMS
50. Contamination Simulation System (CSS) Activated as soon as abnormal behavior is recognized A sophisticated hydraulic simulator / online module analyzes: Contamination source Calculates the amount of contamination over time Predicts spread of contamination GIS displays
52. Whitewater Security System Benefits Minimise the risk of damage to public health and water supply. Create a unified system by connecting all existing systems. Predict water contamination spread directions and potential leakage. Early detection of water abnormal behaviour and water security events. Improve organisational preparedness to water situations. Improve management of internal and external factors involved in a water situation. Relevant information display made available to managers in both routine and emergency cases.
53. Whitewater Security System Benefits (contd) De-briefs and learning based on drills/scenarios and real events. Reduce administrative overheads, achieve long-term economic savings and utilise resources more efficiently. Reduce human error and the frequency of false alarms. Deliver a platform for operational compliance. Unique predictive, analytical and proactive detection techniques using BlueBoxTM. Early warning system and real-time alerting. In line with IWO, ISO and EPA regulations
54. Security Program Development Phases Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Tailor-made Security Program Development Implementation & Support Water Security Enhancement Review
55. Water Security Enhancement Review Phase 1. Typically 3 to 6 months Four Subject Matter Experts 2. Questionnaire Data Review 1. Questionnaire Data 3. On-site Survey – 1 week 4. Evaluation Report
56. The Review Program Phase 1 Organizational goals and objectives Organizational structure Water distribution infrastructure Water quality monitoring infrastructure Water leakage systems Physical & electronic security systems Procedures-routine & emergency Relations with external public organizations Geographic Information Systems Technology infrastructure SCADA CRM
57. Outcomes of the Review Presentation to SW on the findings Real life demo of Whitewater security system with SW data Comprehensive report highlighting water security gaps Accurate pricing for an end-to end water security package that delivers:
58. Highlighting the need for review Large water systems may distribute through thousands of km of pipes, and hundreds of reservoirs & pumping stations Large water systems can spend millions per year on leakage prevention Unknown amounts are often spent on control systems, pipe monitoring systems, water quality systems, water pressure systems, etc. Can costs be reduced? Can efficiencies be improved? Is compliance an issue? Can situation response time be reduced? Is central holistic control important?
59. Whitewater Benefits Summary Lower operational costs Minimize human error factor Accelerate response time Protect investments in existing solutions
