Knowledge Area: Strategic Asset Management

Our Objective

WERF will provide decision support tools, techniques, and methods that wastewater agencies can use to implement a Strategic Asset Management Program (SAM). These devices can be integrated into the existing SIMPLE (Sustainable Infrastructure Management Program Learning Environment) knowledge base. WERF will also develop a toolbox that facilities can use to communicate the benefits of implementing a SAM program.
