CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA, Dec. 1, 2009 -- KISTERS North America Inc., with its WISKI water resources information system, is providing a comprehensive turnkey Advanced Data Analysis System (ADAS) solution to meet the requirements of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The SFWMD is the largest of Florida's five regional water management districts, encompassing an 18,000-square-mile area from the Kissimmee region north of Lake Okeechobee southward throughout the Everglades and the Florida Keys.
With more than 1,800 miles of canals and levees, 25 major pumping stations, 2,200 large and small water-control structures monitored and controlled over a network of microwave and radio-frequency communications systems at 1,200 instrumented locations, the SFWMD has turned to KISTERS to provide real-time and historical hydro-meteorological data and data processing and evaluation tools. KISTERS' water management solution, WISKI 7 -- a hydrological database solution for managing all hydrological data in one location -- is perfectly suited to the demands of this large water management district.
One of the SFWMD's goals was to find a contractor with whom they could develop a strong partnership during both the initial project implementation and later operational phases which would include integration with other District systems. The SFWMD chose KISTERS, in part, due to its reputation for successful long term collaboration and partnerships. Over 300 customers worldwide have chosen KISTERS as their partner for water resource data management.
