EPANet and Matlab
A visitor that came to this blog from Demetrios Eliades’s web site reminded me of the EPANet and Matlab issue. About 3 years ago I was busy preparing for the Battle of the Water Sensor Networks (BWSN). A few people helped me test and debug the software utilities for the battle. One of them was Philip Jonkergouw from [...]
A Step-by-Step Guide to EPANET 2.0 Simulations
Robert E. Pitt is a Professor at the University of Alabama. For his Urban Water Systems and Water Resources Engineering courses he wrote a Step-by-Step Guide to EPANET 2.0 Simulations.
The guide starts with creating a new project, adding elements, moving, deleting and editing objects. The text is accompanied with many screen shots and editors [...]
nofdp IDSS
The nofdp IDSS (Nature Oriented Flood Damage Prevention, Information and Decision Support System) is an open source application for the interactive development of flood risk strategies and 1D hydrodynamic flood simulation. Additional modules for ecological and spatial analysis, multi criteria evaluation, flood risk maps, flood frequency, flood duration and communication are included.

Comprehensive Solute Mixing Model (AZRED) for Double-Tee, Cross, and Wye Junctions
Just a few days after posting about EPANET-BAM, Professor Choi sent a link to his AZRED program which simulates mixing at network’s fittings. This work was presented at WDSA 2008 and available online [Development of a Comprehensive Solute Mixing Model (AZRED) at Junctions - pdf].
Abstract:
Municipal water distribution networks consist of numerous cross-, tee-, and wye- junction [...]
xpswmm
XPSWMM by xpsoftwareis said to be complete software package for modeling stormwater and wastewater flows and pollutants. It may be used by scientists, engineers and resource and asset managers to simulate natural rainfall-runoff processes and the performance of engineered systems that manage our water resources.
xpswmm is used to develop link-node and spatially distributed models that are applied to [...]
ESRI’s Resource Center for Water Utilities Management
ESRI web site includes a section named The Resource Center for Water Utilities Management:
The web site is for the ArcGIS water, wastewater, and stormwater utility community. It provides useful templates and best practice information enabling you to implement ArcGIS to manage your water utility information, perform your daily operations, and support your long term planning.
An [...]
Book: Water Resources Systems Planning and Management
This new book by Daniel P. Loucks and Eelco van Beek (UNESCO PUBLISHING) will be out soon at your near by store. In the meanwhile it can be downloaded free from Delft Hydraulics ftp.
The size of the file is about 400MB so before you go ahead with the download, look at this file here to [...]
Comprehensive Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems
New book from MWH Soft: Comprehensive Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems By Kevin E. Lansey and Paul F. Boulos.
Safe drinking water is essential to life. While effective water treatment is imperative, the distribution system itself represents the final barrier in safeguarding water quality and plays a critical role in protecting a nation’s [...]
BackSense – contamination source detection software
BackSense is new methodology to identify the possible sources location and time frame of a contamination that may cause the trigger of a set of water quality sensors that are part of an Early Contamination Warning System (ECWS). The basic idea of BackSense it to identify all the networks nodes that can “reach” a specific [...]
Operation Atlas – Poisoning Tel-Aviv Residents
On 1941 the Arab Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini met with Adolf Hitler and discussed ways to ’solve the Jewish problem’. Three years later the Nazis and the Arabs of Palestine planned to poison the drinking water in Tel-Aviv with Arsenic poison.
Four years before the establishment of the State of Israel the Nazis and [...]
