本文展示了英国通用事业集团公司如何使用网络建模在5年内制定其总体规划。这些总体规划是监管机构水资源办公室基础设施投资计划的基础。通过综合信息管理系统地使用这些水力模型进行规划，实现了成本效益。有效的建模是通过从地理信息系统（GIS）生成模型来实现的，该系统包含电网、房地产和运营信息，并通过遥测链路对其进行校准。

This paper shows how the General Utilities group of companies in England are producing their master plans in 5 year periods using network modeling. These master plans are the basis of the infrastructure investment programme to the regulatory agency, Office of Water. Cost effectiveness has been achieved through systematic use of these hydraulic models for planning by integrated information management. Effective modeling is achieved by generating models from the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) holding mains, property and operational information and calibrating them with a telemetry link.
