Water Simulation

Oliver Diaz sent me a link to an Excel addon he wrote to convert Excel data to the INP file of EPANet. In addition, it can export excel data to AutoCAD by generating a dxf file. Points with coordinates X, Y, Z from an excel sheet can be exported to a dxf file as points, [...]

A visitor that came to this blog from Demetrios Eliades’s web site reminded me of the EPANet and Matlab issue. About 3 years ago I was busy preparing for the Battle of the Water Sensor Networks (BWSN). A few people helped me test and debug the software utilities for the battle. One of them was Philip Jonkergouw from [...]

Robert E. Pitt is a Professor at the University of Alabama. For his Urban Water Systems and Water Resources Engineering courses he wrote a Step-by-Step Guide to EPANET 2.0 Simulations.
The guide starts with creating a new project, adding elements, moving, deleting and editing objects.  The text is accompanied with many screen shots and editors [...]

EPANet-Z (in free beta) from Zonum Solutions is a modified recompiled version of EPANet that adds the option to insert map and satellite images to the network’s backdrop. The program uses online services like Yahoo maps and Google maps to extract the images. From Zonum’s web site:
The use of a backdrop file brought new capabilities [...]

EPANET-BAM 1.0 is an augmented version of EPANET 2.00.10, open-source software distributed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that models flow and contaminant transport through water distribution pipe networks.
EPANET-BAM uses a new Bulk Advective Mixing (BAM) model to predict concentrations of an aqueous solute at the outlets of cross junctions in a water quality simulation.
Recent [...]

From Zonums Solutions:
EPANET-MSX (EPA, 2007) is distributed as a stand-alone console application (command line application) In order to run it; the user must open a Command Prompt window in Windows, and navigate to the folder where epanetmsx.exe was saved. The syntax is:
>> epanetmx example.inp example.msx example.rpt
Where:

example.inp describes the hydraulic characteristics of the network

example.msx describes [...]

Lewis Rossman just announced the release on a New Maintenance Release of EPANET 2:

In preparation for the release of the Multi-Species Water Quality Modeling Extension to EPANET, we have just loaded a new maintenance update of EPANET, 2.00.11, to the new home page for EPANET: http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html.
The only new features we added were to increase the [...]

Have you noticed the new web site EPANET.com? This new site states that it is:
Your one-stop source for software technology, news, and collaboration for the municipal water distribution modeling industry.
The site brings industry headlines, EPANet files download, few white papers, one book for sale and a registration form for a forum.

In the footer of the [...]

During the last year, 277 posts were sent for 100 topics in the EPANet user-list.
The archive for all the posts can be found in the forums section.

Armando Barreto over at Zonum Solutions is looking for beta-testers for his new release – epa2kmz.
From Zonums Solutions web site:
Epa2kmz transforms NET Files to KMZ format. It allows to visualize Epanet projects in Google Earth, using the GE imagery as background.
Epa2kmz can transform the Network Map or the Network Map and the Hydraulic Analysis.
Epa2kmz [...]
