A geographic data inventory system employs different technologies for their unique strengths and allows for the communication between spatial and tabular data for a cohesive network of related data. This type of data network is called topology and is the heart of a utility infrastructure management system. Topology gives us the ability to manage and control a system through the relationship between infrastructure layers.

Integrating hydraulic models into utility GIS has distinct advantages: eliminate redundant system map/model maintenance, provide up-to-date model structure, allow distribution pipe modeling, and facilitate directional flushing program development. These advantages can save a utility significant manpower and consulting costs, as well as keeping the hydraulic modeling tools accurate for key operations and capital decision making.
