Why SCADA Modernisation is a Priority for Water Utilities

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are a vital tool, supporting water utility companies as they maintain public health, ensure compliance and optimise operations. They are a crucial component in keeping our water clean, available and safe. But many systems are now showing their age, creating undue risk. And while the need for modernisation is pressing, water professionals are understandably concerned about the difficulties involved in such a complex migration.

In this course, we consider the challenges and opportunities awaiting water utilities considering a SCADA modernisation project.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

1. Understand the urgency of SCADA modernisation to mitigate risks and improve efficiency
2. Plan for scale, integration, and risk management during system upgrades
3. Understand how modern SCADA can be used for real-time insights, predictive tools, and operational resilience
