Reducing water leakage through the development of high resolution soil maps

我们的气候正在变化。炎热干燥的夏季造成了供水问题，混乱的天气模式对传统的基础设施建模造成了严重破坏。将基础设施的表现与前几个月或前几年进行比较的旧方法已不再适用。你将在一个积极的、真正支持的研究团队中工作，与行业密切相关，并努力寻求更好地理解土壤、天气和基础设施之间的动态相互作用。通过您的研究，我们将能够提高我们的基准测试能力，提高网络性能。你将成为这个团队的关键成员，开发新的数字土壤制图技术，以提高我们对土壤的了解。您将与其他人一起将这些新地图整合到预测突发模型中，并使用输出结果为Anglian Water提供指导，以确定其财务投资的最佳目标，从而将泄漏减少到可以忽略不计的水平。

Our climate is changing. Hotter drier summers cause issues for water supply, and the chaotic weather patterns cause havoc with traditional infrastructure modelling. The old approach of comparing infrastructure performance with previous months or years no longer is fit for purpose. You will be working in an active, and truly supportive research team, closely aligned to industry, and working to seek to better our understanding of the dynamic interactions between soil, weather and infrastructure. Through your research, we will be able to improve our ability to benchmark and improve network performance. You will be a key member of this team, developing new digital soil mapping techniques to enhance our understanding of the soil. You will work alongside others to integrate these new maps into predictive burst models, and use the outputs to provide guidance to Anglian Water on where it can best target it's financial investments, so they can reduce leakage to a negligible level.
