/// Warren County Water District Looks to “Elevate” Its Hydraulic Modeling with Survey-Grade Maps
Now shelved, mapbooks that used to ride with Warren County Water District’s field crews weighed up to 75 pounds! These books were used for navigation during service calls and routine work. Today, Warren Water has switched to high-accuracy, digital maps running on lightweight mobile devices. This has resulted in improved efficiency, increased accuracy — and a much lighter navigation system! With a combination of submeter and centimeter-level accuracy in their XYZ values, Warren Water will next help its engineers with new hydraulic modeling tools to take full advantage of their updated GIS.
