What the planner covers

Demand forecasting

WUE/PUE energy-basis demand, peaking factors, cooling tower mass balance and year-by-year buildout.

Cooling technology screening

Weighted comparison of 11 cooling systems on water, energy, capital, O&M and site fit.

Water source evaluation

Blended supply portfolios with reliability, quality, permitting and lead-time scoring.

Supply / demand balance

Firm capacity vs max-day demand, drought and outage stress testing.

Treatment screening

Preset treatment trains, recovery, residuals and complexity scoring by source water.

Infrastructure sizing

Pipeline diameter and headloss, pump station horsepower, storage volume components.

Cost estimating

Class 4/5 capital build-up, O&M, escalation and 30-year lifecycle NPV.

Risk scoring

15 weighted planning risk categories with evidence, mitigation and owner tracking.

Permitting register

27 approvals with triggers, required studies, durations and status.

Municipal negotiation

Position tracking on rates, capacity, fees and readiness scoring.

Community engagement

Stakeholder sentiment factors and benefit commitment documentation.

Scenario comparison

Base, conservative, aggressive and sensitivity scenarios side by side.

Reporting and export

Print-ready reports, CSV data extracts and Markdown summaries.

Engineering use limitations

This tool provides planning-level screening, feasibility, and conceptual cost estimates for data center water infrastructure. It does not replace site-specific engineering analysis, hydraulic modeling, water quality testing, permitting review, legal review, or final design by licensed professionals. All unit costs, sizing assumptions, and recommendations must be reviewed and validated using local data, current bid prices, applicable regulations, and professional judgment.
