Welcome to Water Simulation Packages (WSP) !!!
Hello all,
My name is Elad and Iג€™m a water resources engineer. Once in a while Iג€™m asked to recommend a water simulation package (WSP). Usually my answer changes according to the person asking. If it is a student or someone doing academic research I often send him to the EPA web site to download EPANET.
But when it is an engineering firm asking or a small water utility then I must sit back and think what the best WSP is for the client. What are the needs? Does he need database connectivity, GIS, AutoCAD, asset managementג€¦. and so on.
Since there are more than a few WSPs out there I made a short, and not complete, list of them. This started as one simple web page but I got many positive responses and suggestions to include more information about water related software, so I decided to give it a try and open a bigger web site.
The main page of the site will always show the last entries (AKA ג€postג€) to the site. Each post belongs to one or more categories. You can see that the menu on the left hand side shows a list of categories. For example, the post for EPANET will be a part of the ג€˜water simulation packagesג€™ category and the ג€˜free software’ category.
For each post you can place a comment by using the interface just under the post. You donג€™t have to register or give any personal information. If you want to make a new post you will have to register by using the link just under the calendar in the menu. At the moment anyone can post here but please donג€™t abuse this site. I will delete any post that falls in that category. Commercial posts are welcome.
This site is under heavy construction and may be out of service sometimes. If you have any ideas, remarks, comments or anything to tell me please use the comments interface below.

Great idea for a website. Just testing the comment feature to see how it works.

Great idea Elad! It’s about time we have a place on the web where modelers can discuss different software packages without the fear of being kicked off.
Please keep it up. I’ll certainly use it.
Great site idea – I would like to thank you for including our program, “HydrauliCAD”
We are near release of major changes for next version – which will employ all native (or pure) AutoCAD Objects / Commands / Tools.
Would be pleased to answer any questions you might have.
Again, Thank You & very best to your efforts.
Happy new year !
as a begin, you can have a look at our software website Porteau http://porteau.cemagref.fr
unfortunately, there is no english version !
Porteau is being heavily upgraded at the moment.
Great idea. Itֲ´s very helpful.
