今天的公用事业经理需要处理大量的信息，以便有效地运行水系统。必须对从多个来源获得的大量数据进行组织、集成和分析，以促进决策和优化系统性能。电子信息管理系统（IMS）可以综合和分析数据，以满足用水需求，同时节省时间和资金。没有一种特定的IMS解决方案适合所有水务公司。智能弹药系统必须符合电力公司的物理特征以及管理人员和操作员的需求。利用现有的工具和技术的最佳组合，将水工系统的IMS成型，是实施有效IMSCOVER的基础。 包括3个参考文献、图表。

Today's utility manager needs to process large amounts of informationin order to efficiently operate a water system. Volumes of data,obtained from multiple sources, must be organized, integrated andanalyzed to facilitate decision-making and optimize systemperformance. An electronic Information Management System (IMS)can synthesize and analyze data to meet water utility requirementswhile saving time and money in the process.There is not one particular IMS solution appropriate for all waterutilities. The IMS must fit both the physical characteristics of theutility and the needs of managers and operators. This molding of theIMS to the water utility, using the best mix of available tools andtechnologies, is the foundation to implementing effective IMSsolutions. Includes 3 references, figures.
