The number of millions of dollars water pipeline system failures cost Australia annually.

PARMS-PLANNING is CSIRO-developed software to predict pipe failures and determine likely future costs for different management and operational strategies.

It is helping Australian water utilities manage their assets more efficiently.

Richard Jarrett, CSIRO statistical modeller, says this allows utilities to determine costs required to maintain customer service, prevent unscheduled supply interruptions and reduce property damage due to pipe failure.
