ADASA uses Artificial Intelligence to improve dam monitoring and warning systems in New South Wales, Australia
ADASA has developed a new methodology for analysing dam behaviour, using machine learning to support new alarm systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides efficient data analysis that automatically creates analytical models to predict dam anomalies and generate reliable alarms, helping reduce the risk of potential dam failures. Our client, WaterNSW of Australia, had previously researched one of the largest dams in its New South Wales catchment area. We took this study and incorporated it into a new system comprising multivariate regression behavioural models, neural networks, and Random Forest algorithms to predict parameters such as head pressure and seepage. We apply several unsupervised classification techniques to find anomalies at various dam locations:
One-Class Support Vector Machine
Isolation Forest (anomaly detection)
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) or Large Short-Term Memory networks.
Our system now provides dam safety engineers with a new line of defence alarms, the ability to investigate anomalous situations more thoroughly, plus understand a dam’s long-term general tendencies and future health. At the base of this advanced alarm management system is data generated by DamGuard, ADASA’s dam safety monitoring system, installed at 42 large dams across New South Wales (Australia) in recent years. DamGuard has allowed WaterNSW to collate all its historical, inspection, and dam safety data in a single — and real-time accessible — cloud-based database. This powerful information tool facilitates immediate anomaly detection and alarm generation. According to a study presented by WaterNSW at the last Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD), DamGuard’s installation has led to an estimated 15% reduction in safety risks. ADASA’s pioneering work has strengthened its position as a leading provider of dam safety and management solutions. It also reinforces ADASA’s leadership in the development and implementation of dam safety monitoring systems in Australia. WaterNSW, based in Sydney, is responsible for the supply of bulk water and the management of 42 dams across the entire state of New South Wales.
ADASA installed three maritime stations in Togo to protect and monitor its Gulf of Guinea coastline
ADASA collaborated with the Maritime Office in Togo’s capital city, Lomé, to better the real-time knowledge of coastal weather conditions, sea waves, and currents.
Balearic Islands use ADASA’s Real-Time Hydrometric Network for Flood Alerts and Prevention
ADASA is collaborating with the Balearic Department for Environment to improve real-time data about rainfall in riverbeds and streams to ascertain which areas are at the highest risk of flooding and monitor water quality and related levels.
The Catalan Water Agency implements a system at the Darnius Boadella dam that facilitates its operation and automatic control
Automatic control on a dam valve using a mobile application. The work of technicians is facilitated and the need to physically access the dam for its operation is avoided.
WaterNSW launches online water portal to enhance transparency
An intuitive platform providing meaningful information and real-time data to support transparency and public accessibility to water information in New South Wales.
Barcelona to protect bather’s health with Adasa technology
Improving technology and interoperability can reduce pollution levels in water bodies. Reduce the number and volume of CSOs in urban areas bathing waters, and minimise the bathers’ health risks.
