Purpose & Scope
What this module owns
Clear ownership boundaries prevent duplication and ensure every capability has exactly one authoritative home.
Owns
7Delegated to
5Device registry, data ingestion, health monitoring
Network mapping, spatial queries
Leak repair work orders
Demand forecasting models
SCADA protocol adapters
These capabilities are handled by dedicated modules and consumed via stable API contracts — keeping boundaries clean and ownership unambiguous.
Core Capabilities
What it does
3 capability groups comprising 7 discrete capabilities — each with API surface, business rules, and data ownership.
Real-time GIS map of water distribution with pressure, flow, reservoir levels, pump status, and treatment output — SCADA and IoT unified view.
GIS Dashboard
Pressure sensors, flow sensors, reservoir/tank levels, pump station status, treatment plant output — displayed on GIS map.
Colour-Coded Status
Green/yellow/red colour-coding against operating ranges — instant visual identification of anomalies.
Zone Drill-Down
Drill down from system-wide to individual pressure zone — time-series charts for any sensor.
Unified View
SCADA data and IoT sensor data combined into a single dashboard — eliminate silos between control systems.
Multi-method leak detection using minimum night flow, pressure transient, DMA mass balance, and acoustic correlation with confidence scoring.
Minimum Night Flow
Analyze night flow trends — increasing minimum night flow indicates growing leakage in the distribution system.
Pressure Transient
Detect pipe break signatures from pressure transient events — rapid pressure drop patterns.
DMA Mass Balance
District metered area inflow vs. metered + unmetered consumption — quantify losses per zone.
Acoustic Correlation
Acoustic sensor correlation analysis — pinpoint leak location on pipe segment for targeted repair.
Confidence & Magnitude
Each detection classified by confidence (low/medium/high) and estimated magnitude (litres/hour) — prioritize response.
Continuous monitoring of chlorine residual, turbidity, pH, temperature, and conductivity with O.Reg. 169/03 compliance and anomaly alerts.
Parameters
Chlorine residual, turbidity, pH, temperature, conductivity — continuous monitoring at distribution points.
Regulatory Compliance
O.Reg. 169/03 (Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards) — automatic compliance checking against limits.
Anomaly Alerts
Anomaly detection alerts when parameters deviate from expected ranges — correlate with operations (flushing, main break repair).
External Factors
Correlation with external factors: source water quality, seasonal turnover — distinguish operational from environmental causes.
Every module owns a single bounded context, exposes stable APIs, and can be composed into any Civic product — that's the architecture that scales.
