From TECHNOTRADE web site:

WATSYS will help you analyze, design and manage your water supply system. It is a comprehensive graphic information system (GIS) for your water infrastructure. This software will simulate situations to identify and correct deficiencies in an existing distribution system, to expand a system to meet future demands, or to predict a system’s performance during such emergencies as pump failures, main breaks, equipment malfunctions or fire flows. It may be used to carry out simulations for peak usage periods and low demand cycles. WATSYS can also perform water quality analysis including chlorine decay, fluoride distribution, source tracing and water age. Models may be created to better understand the movement and transformation of treated water.

For more information see WATSYS web page.

An email list devoted to fire hydrants by FireHydrant.org:

This is the first mailing list devoted to fire hydrants. This list was started with just a few folks, but has grown to over 150 members from around the world. People from a variety of backgrounds are on the list, from project engineers, firefighters, fire hydrant technicians, and hydrant sales reps, to members of the general public. If you have a question, someone will likely have an answer. You can also join just to read and enjoy the periodic mail.
