Water Simulation

In February 2005 I wrote about the beta version of HYDROFLO. Since then the program has matured into a commercial product. From HYDROFLO web site: HYDROFLO is a software tool that assists piping system designers in the modeling and analysis of single source/single discharge, re-circulating and gravity flow piping systems. These systems are commonly found in industrial process, [...]

When working with hydraulic models, especially of large networks, the user often face a problem when he wants to compare two versions on the model to see what changes were made. The GeoAdvice Model Comparator by GEOAdviceֲ aims to assist in this task.The program is an Excel Addon (requires Excel 2007) and currently can compare models [...]

XPSWMM by xpsoftwareis saidֲ to be complete software package for modeling stormwater and wastewater flows and pollutants. Itֲ may beֲ 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 [...]

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 [...]

Flow Calc is a commercialֲ ֲ computer software program designed to calculate common Open Channel Flow hydraulic characteristics using only the methods of the Manning’s Equation for regular and irregular channel geometries for steady uniform flow including circular and elliptical pipes.   From Flow Calc web site: Flow Calc provides an easy to use interface that is [...]

Optimatics developed a software tool, named OptiCritical, to assist clients in analyzing and understanding the impact of pipe bursts on their water distribution systems. According to Optimatics, OptiCritical will be providing answers to questions such as: Which pipes cause the most disruption if they break? Which locations are affected by bursts at other locations? Can [...]

PCSWMM.NET, from CHI, is aֲ spatial decision support system for US EPA SWMM 5 urban drainage modeling (sanitary, storm, combined and watershed systems). From CHI web site: Built from the ground up around a modern, powerful GIS engine that works seamlessly with the latest GIS data formats, PCSWMM.NET implements advanced, intelligent tools for streamlining sewer collection [...]

MWH Soft announced the availability of the V4 Generation of InfoSewer for power ArcGIS (ESRI, Redlands, CA) users. From MWH Soft web page: InfoSewer is a powerful ArcGIS-based computer program for use in the planning, design, analysis, and expansion of sanitary, storm and combined sewer collection systems. The program can be effectively used to model [...]
