Evaluating Water Assets Using Water Efficiency Framework for Infrastructure Intensive Agency
Water infrastructure-intensive organizations should incorporate sustainability principles when making decisions on infrastructure investments to ensure the long-term resilience of mission-critical equipment and components. A water efficiency evaluation framework to inform infrastructure investments is discussed and applied to three federal campuses. The methodology considered emphasizes the iterative process between data analysis and decision-making; evaluates cost-sharing solution alternatives when making final recommendations; considers both internal and external stakeholder perceptions of project outcomes and future planning; and makes explicit government and community preferences when evaluating projects. Case study findings underscore condition evaluations for infrastructure that are critical to setting a baseline for system performance and determining desired potential upgrades and sustainment strategies. Such a holistic approach has demonstrated effectiveness for understanding, classifying, and recommending innovative water asset solutions that are necessary for the public sector to consider in today’s complex, modern planning environment.
