Decades of research, searchable in seconds
Dimensioning is based on return period and runoff coefficient; the storage volume is computed with the rational method.
The knowledge already existed. The problem was finding it. Svenskt Vatten manages over 1,200 SVU reports across some 50,000 pages. When a question came up in operations, it was hard to know which report held the answer, or whether the right material even existed.
Lens powers Vattensnack, a search service where users ask questions in natural language and get answers straight from the reports. Every answer links to the exact report and page. Users don't need to know where the answer is. It's enough to know what they want to find out.
Questions that used to take hours of searching are now answered in seconds. Research that used to sit buried in a PDF archive becomes available in day-to-day work.
