The ArcGIS Water Utilities Data Model provides the foundation for a complete GIS solution geared to the needs of Water/Sewer Stormwater utility end users. The Water/Sewer Stormwater Data Model is a collection of objects, feature classes and attributes defined for water and wastewater distribution networks. The model can be tailored to meet project requirements for data management and integration with other systems.
