Seoul City Builds 'Digital Arisu On' for Real-Time Water Quality, Construction, and Leakage Information at a Glance

Integration of 15 Systems and 133 Key Information Types... Establishment of Real-Time Integrated Sharing Platform in the Water Supply Sector

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 16th that it has established a real-time integrated sharing platform for the water supply sector called 'Digital Arisu ON' and has been utilizing it in its operations since the 17th.

'Digital Arisu ON,' developed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, is a system that allows users to grasp 15 types of water supply-related systems and 133 types of information at a glance, providing information in seven areas including water intake, production, water quality, safety, finance, daily status, and related news. By enabling real-time access to various water supply data in one place, it is expected to improve the efficiency of water supply administrative tasks and provide visualized location-based information for faster civil complaint handling and accident response.

Until now, the Seoul Waterworks Authority has been using more than 15 different systems developed according to the diverse characteristics of tasks from water production to supply and service individually for each task, resulting in somewhat insufficient integration of operations. In response, the city conceived and developed 'Digital Arisu ON,' a real-time integrated sharing platform for the water supply sector, to comprehensively grasp and manage water supply-related data at a glance within a single system.

Digital Arisu ON provides key information such as water quality, production, freezing damage, safety, leakage, and water pipelines as location-based real-time data. Through visualized data on maps, users can grasp the overall status and trend changes over time at a glance, supporting prompt policy decisions.

Two-way communication and monitoring with water supply field sites are also strengthened. In addition to routine on-site safety inspections, a remote video conferencing function is provided to enable quick communication with the field in case of leakage or water quality accidents from remote locations. It also offers monitoring functions linked with the Seoul Traffic Information System (TOPIS), allowing rapid assessment of damage and initial response when leakage accidents occur near roads with heavy vehicle traffic. The platform regularly updates 29 core water supply policy indicators such as average daily water production, water service rate, and water quality test items, enabling each department to frequently check and monitor progress.

Gu Ami, head of the Waterworks Authority, said, “Through location-based visualization services, we can grasp water supply big data in real time at a glance, which is expected to enable swift on-site responses,” and added, “By integrating scattered data, we expect it will help approach problems from a new perspective and find the best solutions.”
