Water Utilities Taxonomy

“Water is the driving force of all nature.” - Leonardo Da Vinci. “We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.” - Jacques Yves Cousteau. “If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” - Loren Eiseley.

If you are in the water utilities sector, these quotes are probably preaching to the choir. But what about all the documents and data associated with water utilities? The maintenance and construction, the water sources, the water utility metrics? Data tied to these is just as important to the business as the water itself, but it often lives in silos inaccessible for long periods of time. But with WAND’s Water Utilities Taxonomy, this no longer has to be the case! You can organize your documents with ease, train your AI with speed, and begin using your company’s water utilities documents and data in no time! As with all our taxonomies, this strong foundation metadata model can be customized to include additional terms related to your specific need or industry.

This taxonomy contains 825 terms and 933 synonyms. Top-level terms include:
• Associations and Organizations (9)
• Forms (28)
• Maintenance and Construction (65)
• Standards and Guidelines (99)
• Water Distribution (12)
• Water Quality (227)
• Water Resource Management (96)
• Water Sources (16)
• Water Systems (3)
• Water Utility Infrastructure (234)
• Water Utility Metrics (25)

While one taxonomy is good, multiple taxonomies to address other areas of your business is better! Check out some of our curated recommendations for other taxonomies that pair well with the

With foundation taxonomies, the time spent developing taxonomy is dramatically reduced. Foundation taxonomies provide a common-sense starting point for all stakeholders in a taxonomy project so that targeted feedback can be provided to customize the taxonomy specifically for your needs.
