THE CHALLENGE

Municipalities and utilities face a constant challenge — meeting service standards, managing growth, and modernizing infrastructure under tight timelines and limited budgets.

Traditional master planning often takes months, depends on outdated data, and produces static documents that quickly lose relevance.

Decision-makers are left uncertain about priorities and unable to evaluate environmental impacts effectively.

HydraLink changes that by leveraging hydraulic modeling and other digital tools to deliver the same strategic depth — in less time, with greater transparency.

That’s where HydraLink brings clarity and speed.

OUR APPROACH

HydraLink modernizes the Master Planning process by integrating hydraulic modeling and smart water in technology at every step.

Our methods fully align with the industry's best management practices and frameworks on master planning. For example, in the province of Ontario, HydraLink's approach is in lines with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act (R.S.O. 1990, c. E.18) and similar frameworks used across Canada and internationally.

Such Acts define a structured, transparent planning process built on principles that guide every HydraLink project:

Stakeholder engagement

Water Demand Calculations

through clear, visual communication

Evaluation of alternatives

Environmental impact assessment

Evidence based comparison

Transparent documentation

using digital scenario simulations

via desktop and/or field investigations

of servicing strategies

and traceability throughout the process

HOW HYDRALINK HELPS

HydraLink supports utilities and municipalities in applying these EA principles through data-driven planning and modeling tools that turn policy into measurable outcomes:

HERE IS HOW WE ADD VALUE:

TWIN CREATION

ALTERNATIVE TESTING

simulate real-world network performance, demand growth, and environmental conditions.

compare and validate multiple servicing strategies before selecting the preferred one.

CALIBRATED MODELS

use updated, validated data to test assumptions and demonstrate accuracy.

CAPITAL PLANNING TOOLS

prioritize investments and stage projects based on modeled service outcomes.

VISUAL REPORTING

communicate findings and decisions clearly through presentation-ready graphics and summaries.

RESULTS IN ACTION

WATER MASTER PLAN

HydraLink developed a fully calibrated model using GIS and field data, optimizing hydraulic performance and helping the city reduce analysis time by 30%.

RESULT:

Lambton Area Water Supply System Water Master Plan

Tough economic environment has forced a decline in local light and heavy industrial activity making it hard to forecast water demand in the future.

An master plan that is build on the adaptive management principles that facilitates multiple planning scenarios and reduces the uncertainty.

Comprehensive plan defining future infrastructure requirements aligned with variability in demand growth.

The toughest part here was to get buy-in from member municipalities who have competing priorities. Effective communication strategy made sure that every view was presented and every voice was heard.
