Introducing CaDC Analytics: a powerful tool for water management

Water agency collaboration leads to groundbreaking software to adapt to a changing climate and evolving regulations.

We are excited to announce that the California Data Collaborative (CaDC) is launching a new software product that will revolutionize the way water suppliers and managers use data to plan, evaluate, and report their water demand management programs. CaDC Analytics is a web-based platform that supports workflows across water efficiency, customer service, water resources, and operations.

The product offers advanced analytics and visualizations designed with years of learning and feedback from CaDC’s members while integrating new and useful data sources that many water suppliers are unable to easily access.

By pooling their data and expertise, CaDC members have created a data-sharing platform and a growing suite of water-management tools that encode the full story of their water. The product is supported by funding from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as well as the CaDC coalition of water suppliers.

CaDC Analytics is designed to meet the needs of water managers in California’s complex and dynamic water environment, where data quality, accessibility, and interoperability are essential for informed decision-making.

We will be launching for beta testing with CaDC members this Summer and will continue to improve over the next year as we incorporate feedback and new features. If you would like to join the CaDC to get in on early access to support your water efficiency needs, please sign up for early access.
