AWWA计算机辅助设计委员会调查了自动化绘图/设施管理、地理信息系统（GIS）和计算机辅助设计制图（CAD）技术在水行业中的使用情况。在270名受访者中，只有20%的人表示他们没有参与这些领域的计算机化。除了工程制图和设施制图等标准应用程序外，公用事业公司还在使用光栅数据进行文件成像、光栅和矢量化数据的集成，并开发GIS与其他系统之间的接口，如监控和数据采集、客户账单和水力模型。地理信息系统数据库开发最常见的方法是通过摄影测量编制基础地图，并将设施位置数字化，尽管人们对扫描和矢量化现有设施地图有着浓厚的兴趣和一些活动。包括桌子。

The use of automated mapping/facilities management, geographic information systems (GIS), and computer aided design-drafting (CAD) technology within the water industry was surveyed by the AWWA Computer Assisted Design Committee. Of the 270 respondents, only 20 percent indicated that they had no involvement in computerization in these areas. In addition to standard applications such as engineering drafting and facilities mapping, utilities are using raster data for document imaging and integration of raster and vectorized data and developing interfaces between GIS and other systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition, customer billing, and hydraulic models. The most common approach to GIS data base development is photogrammetric compilation of a base map and digitizing locations of facilities, although there is strong interest and some activity in scanning and vectorizing existing maps of facilities.
