Water Simulation Packages (WSP)

Armando Barreto, a student at the University of Arizona, wrote me about his new free tool will extract geometric data contained in ESRI-shape files into EPANet INP files. shp2epa was designed with an interface similar to dxf2epa for a familiar feeling for the user.

News from Manuel López-Ibáñez:

Version 1.4 of EPANET Toolkit for GNU/Linux has been released on 27 June
2006.

This version of EPANET Toolkit is an adaptation of the original EPANET Toolkit version 2.00.10 to GNU/Linux with additional bug fixes and improvements. Nevertheless, source code should compile even on Windows environments (as it has been reported by some users). The purpose of making public my own version is that other researchers can benefit from the improvements and fixes, while the amount of testing of this
version of EPANET is increased. Therefore, any feedback will be welcome.

A complete list of changes and source code are available here.
