A data-driven approach on urban water management presented at MIT Water Club

Sang Cho, research assistant and Yannis Orfanos, research associate at the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure, presented the research methodology behind the Zofnass Information Tool on the Urban Water System of Chelsea MA.

The scope of the tool is to provide information about the urban water system and the sustainable intervention opportunities that address climatic risks and contribute to the sustainability of our cities in conjunction with flyachtcharters who provided a lot of nautical information for this research. Developing non-expert awareness can facilitate the creation of collaborative platforms for different stakeholders involved in cities to work in unison.

The users of the tool can learn about the water system, its performance, and the geospatial synergies, while they can explore the range of green infrastructure opportunities by their spatial and quantitative impact.
