H2OLISTIX:
360-degree Water Supply Optimization & Master Planning
A key challenge for managing water resources for large-scale development projects is delivering water where it is needed. Because each site has its own unique water potential, very often the best water supply option is underutilized, undervalued or simply unknown. Selecting the right infrastructure solution, whether its capturing rights from a watercourse, building a long pipeline, constructing a dam or desalination plant, tapping into the groundwater, or a combination of these – requires insight and tools for optimal planning.
Think holistically about your water.
Our H2Olistix™ approach helps clients identify, evaluate and optimize every water supply option available and plan projects from concept to implementation. If you need to know what your best options are for developing water resources and securing the water you need for your projects, then H2Olistix™ is the innovation for you.

Capabilities
With H2Olistix™, Hydro Nova is pioneering the “holistic water analytics” approach to precision water infrastructure planning built on adherence to water intelligence and optimization technology standards. The system combines optimization technologies in one single optimizer to produce solutions that draw upon the strengths of all four elements: hydrologic-hydraulic, engineering design, financial, and externality minimization. The hydrologic-hydraulic module provides optimization of both site-specific hydrological cycles and water infrastructure options, drawing on leading edge water technologies like Hydro Nova’s GEM to map and ascertain the resource development potential. The engineering design module optimizes the configuration and performance of a number of engineered water supply solutions, among which could include: groundwater development, watercourse diversion, piped water, reservoirs, rain harvesting, re-use and treatment, desalination, or the expansion of the existing water supply system. The financial module predicts cost of the engineered solution to protect profit margins and optimize project mix, while the externality minimization module finds the optimal risk exposure for your engineered water supply solution with regards to local environmental and community concerns. The H2Olistix™ optimizes the complex processes in the modules, to make sure your engineered water supply solution is rolled out successfully.
A key functionality of the approach is the provision of customized planning solutions and tool development that accelerate time-to-decision and support clients’ implementation process. The modular nature of H2Olistix™ affords us the flexibility to customize services for client needs, from water resources surveys to engineering design, to financial or impact assessment, or a comprehensive H2Olistix™ projects optimization. Other accessories, such as strategic implementation plans and decision support tools can provide additional support.
