Training Course for Improved Water Management-Tucson, AZ

Artificial Intelligence & Optimization for Improved Water Management
Nov. 3-7, 2018
Tucson, Arizona, USA

While the water industry is data rich, it remains information poor, collecting more data than conventional computational methods can analyze efficiently and effectively. 

How can this data, collected at significant costs, be transformed into knowledge, allowing critical decision-making to save resources across the board? 

By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization into daily operations. 

This comprehensive two-day course (with an optional third day), is scheduled for November 5-7 in Tucson, Arizona and will be taught by experts who helped pioneer the use of AI in water management. The course is designed for a wide range of industry professionals seeking cutting edge solutions: from managers looking for resource-saving applications for their organization, to hydrologists, engineers, and IT experts who want to apply the technology to support their modeling, prediction, and management problems.

The course will be held at the University of Arizona Science and Technology Park, one of the nation’s premier university research parks, located in Tucson, Arizona. Surrounded by mountains and the beautiful high Sonoran Desert, Tucson boasts a distinctive southwestern feel and enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine each year. 

This two-day course includes:

• A historical overview of AI, its basic theoretical and mathematical foundations, practical considerations for implementation, with illustrative examples.
• How to combine data with AI to extract knowledge and develop accurate forecasting models for both natural and manmade water systems.
• An introduction to formal optimization and example applications to common water management problems.
• How to combine AI with optimization models to identify optimal operational strategies.
• Numerous real-world AI case studies that cover a broad spectrum of water management problems, from predicting groundwater elevations and water quality conditions to optimizing utility operations.
• An introduction to commonly used AI and optimization software.

Optional third day:

• Hands-on AI and optimization software use.
• Attendees can apply methods and software to their own data sets.
• Open question and answer session with instructors.
