How the sector operates
The mission shapes the architecture
Deliver safe water and reliable wastewater services while modernizing distributed control and telemetry with constrained budgets and staffing.
Operational constraints
- Public-health consequences
- Distributed unattended sites
- Radio, cellular, and intermittent connectivity
- Long asset lifecycles and limited specialist capacity
Architecture priorities
- Treatment and remote-site segmentation
- SCADA and telemetry modernization
- Identity and secure remote maintenance
- Manual operations and minimum viable service planning
- Recovery validation for treatment and pumping
Reference architecture

Illustrative Transformation Scenario
Architecture in operational context
A regional water authority maps treatment dependencies, contains remote access, establishes resilient telemetry, and tests restoration around safe process states.
