Powerful system for modeling, exploration and management of water supply systems.
InfoWorks™ WS Pro is a powerful multi-user software platform for comprehensive hydraulic modelling of water supply systems. With more than 15 years on the international market, it quickly became a standard among hundreds of enterprises – designers, consultants and utility operators around the globe.
Integrating a powerful multi-user RDBS, proprietary stand-alone GIS-based modelling environment and state-of-the-art simulation engine, InfoWorks™ WS Pro has been used to create the largest and most complex hydraulic models in the world such as Shanghai water supply system (China, 400 000 links) и Miami – Dade (USA, 250 000 links), as well as in many real-time modelling, forecasting and operations management systems (IWLive).
InfoWorks™ WS Pro is a complex software platform with a wide range of applications in solving complex engineering problems. Here is just a very short list of its possible uses:
The comprehensive and purposely designed functionality allows for dramatic productivity boost of the engineering teams. In direct comparison with most other water supply modelling tools, the adoption of InfoWorks™ WS Pro can lead to work time savings by an order of magnitudes – from months and weeks to just a few days and hours. The platform brings high level of work flow automation thus significantly reducing the costs for designing, hydraulic modelling and operations management of water supply systems.
The relationship between humans and animals is complex and multifaceted. As we continue to evolve as a species, our understanding of animal sentience, emotions, and cognitive abilities has grown exponentially. This increased awareness has sparked a global conversation about animal welfare and rights, raising fundamental questions about our responsibilities towards other living beings.
The concept of animal welfare has been around for centuries, with early advocates like Pythagoras and Seneca expressing concerns about animal treatment. However, the modern animal welfare movement gained momentum in the 19th and 20th centuries, driven by influential figures like Florence Nightingale and Rachel Carson.
Animal rights, on the other hand, take a more philosophical stance, arguing that animals have inherent rights and interests that should be respected and protected. This perspective posits that animals are not mere commodities or property, but sentient beings with their own intrinsic value, deserving of moral consideration and legal protection.
The animal rights movement, also known as the animal liberation movement, gained significant traction in the 1960s and 1970s, with philosophers like Peter Singer and Tom Regan publishing influential works. Singer's book "Animal Liberation" (1975) and Regan's "The Case for Animal Rights" (1983) helped shape the debate and sparked a wave of activism.
Animal welfare refers to the physical and psychological well-being of animals. It encompasses their living conditions, treatment, and experiences, focusing on providing a life free from unnecessary suffering, pain, and distress. Animal welfare is often seen as a more pragmatic and humane approach, aiming to improve the lives of animals within the existing human-dominated framework.
InfoWorks™ WS Pro has been built upon a powerful, proprietary spatial RDBMS. Without competition on the market, the platform allows for an unlimited number of users to work simultaneously in shared spatial databases. Hence, the engineers can use shared data libraries, tool sets and database settings in one single standard environment without the need of constant data transfers from one workstation to another.
A complete built-in tool set allows integration with external corporate RDBMS and file systems, such as GIS, SCADA, ERP, CRM, etc. The software can import / export data from / to many standard formats - ESRI SHP, ESRI GeoDatabase, MapInfo TAB, MS Access, MS SQL Server, ORACLE Database and more.
InfoWorks™ WS Pro brings out-of-the-box all tools required for building and managing the modelling databases – from database structure management to user access control. In addition to the standard WS Master Database, the software platform can flawlessly use MS SQL Server and ORACLE Database as its default data store. The built-in functionality is truly easy to use so even users with standard computer skills can set up complex multi-user modelling environments without the need of IT professional support.
