Water Quality Monitoring Dashboard

Ardurra partnered with the City of Laredo, Texas — a community of more than 260,000 residents — to modernize its water quality monitoring and management processes through advanced data analytics, predictive modeling, and digital transformation. The project focused on improving visibility into water quality conditions across the City's distribution system while equipping utility staff with actionable insights to support proactive operational decision-making.

Ardurra developed a data management and analytics framework that integrates water quality data from 37 testing sites across the city's service area. The team replaced manual data collection processes with electronic forms, reducing data availability delays from approximately 72 hours to near real-time access. Interactive dashboards deliver a centralized view of water quality conditions, historical trends, and system performance across all 37 monitoring locations.

To support predictive decision-making, Ardurra applied statistical and machine learning techniques — including regression analysis, moving averages, artificial neural networks, SARIMA, and hybrid LSTM-SARIMA models — to forecast critical water quality parameters up to seven days in advance. This capability allows utility staff to identify potential issues before they affect operations or customers.

Key Highlights:

• Integrated and analyzed water quality data from 37 testing sites across the city's water distribution system, creating a unified monitoring environment previously unavailable to utility staff.

• Reduced data reporting and availability timelines from approximately 72 hours to near real-time access through the deployment of digital e-forms.

• Developed interactive dashboards providing centralized monitoring, geospatial visualization, and trend analysis across all critical water quality parameters.

• Implemented advanced predictive analytics, including hybrid LSTM-SARIMA models, to generate 7-day forecasts for key water quality indicators.

• Enhanced operational decision-making, regulatory compliance, and public health protection through timely, data-driven insights.

Ardurra successfully delivered a scalable, AI-driven water quality monitoring solution that positions the City of Laredo to manage its distribution system with greater precision, speed, and confidence. By replacing reactive, manual processes with near real-time data access and 7-day predictive forecasting, the project directly strengthens the city's ability to protect public health and meet regulatory obligations. The result is a modernized operational framework built to serve Laredo's growing community.
