Water Simulation Packages (WSP)

HEC-RAS allows you to perform one-dimensional steady and unsteady flow calculations. Sediment Transport computations and Water Quality analysis will be added in future versions.

HEC-RAS is an integrated system of software, designed for interactive use in a multi-tasking, multi-user network environment. The system is comprised of a graphical user interface (GUI), separate hydraulic analysis components, data storage and management capabilities, graphics and reporting facilities.

Objective
The aim of the POWADIMA research project is to establish the feasibility of introducing optimal, real-time control of water distribution networks. Since demand is fluctuating continually, it is necessary to adjust the control apparatus frequently if optimal or near-optimal control is to be achieved. The objective function is to meet the forecast demands at minimal operating cost, subject to operational constraints such as statutory minimum pressure, minimum acceptable flow to avoid stagnation etc. This implies minimizing pumping costs which are the largest component of the operating cost (hence the acronym POWADIMA).
