# SCADA for Small Water Systems - Vision
|
|
|
|
**Status**: Draft
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
A modern, affordable monitoring and alerting platform for small water systems that combines edge computing, hybrid AI, and thoughtful multi-tenancy design.
|
|
|
|
## Target Users
|
|
|
|
- Small water system board members (non-technical)
|
|
- Licensed water system operators managing multiple systems
|
|
- Homeowners with private wells serving multiple connections
|
|
|
|
## Core Value Propositions
|
|
|
|
- Significantly lower ongoing data costs through intelligent local processing
|
|
- Usable by both technical and non-technical stakeholders
|
|
- Proactive alerting instead of reactive monitoring
|
|
- Designed specifically for the economic realities of small systems
|
|
|
|
## Key Architectural Principles
|
|
|
|
- Low-egress by default
|
|
- Hybrid AI (edge + cloud)
|
|
- Strong multi-tenancy with clear RBAC
|
|
- Tamper-evident field hardware
|
|
- Practical reliability over theoretical perfection |
