CHECK-RAS, Version 1.4, is a program designed to verify the validity of an assortment of parameters found in the HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling program. This program can only be installed on computers with Windows 98/NT/2000/XP operating systems. CHECK-RAS is available at FEMA web site.
Pump Designer
Following the Waterhammer in pipelines program a new item by the same author is available. The new program is called Pump Designer. Here is a few words from the author: By means of this program you will have a aid to design a pump station for a simple pipeline system (1 line). You will can [...]
Waterhammer in pipelines
You can calculate the waterhammer in pipelines by means of the flash-application in my www site: www.waterhammer.de.tf My other sites could be also useful for you: www.bombas.de.tf www.hydraulics.de.tf www.velocidad.de.tf Editor’s note: The programs work online, you can contact the software author via his web-page and get a stand alone version.
HyperCalc Plus – Units Calculator
HyperCalc Plus provides a convenient means for converting between English and Metric (SI) units. For example the figure below demonstrates that the ג€Lengthג€ Context provides the functionality to convert between five metric units and nine English units. One meter equals 39.370 or 39 and 3/8 inches. Entering a value on the meter side automatically produces [...]
WebEPANET
With WebEPANET you can build an EPANET INP file on the web, run the model, see the map and even see the results. I’m not sure if anyone will find it useful See an example here or try it yourself here.
Linux in Government: Building Bridges and Managing Water
Manuel Lֳ³pez-Ibֳ¡ֳ±ez sent me this article by Tom Adelstein about open source software for the water industry: 1) Bulk Meter Flow and Operations (BMFO) – a web-based application to manage water meter readings. 2) DC Maintenance Management System (DCMMS) – the system provides a web-based application to record and analyze customer complaints and repairs in [...]
New release of the DC Water Design Extension
A new release of the DC Water Design Extension is available from: http://dcwaterdesign.sourceforge.net The DC Water Design Extension is a free ArcView 3.x extension that integrates EPANET with ArcView. The changes: * Bug fixes especially to the start menu links * Three new functions: Split Model, Merge Model, Extract Model
HAMMER Version 2
HAMMER is a free program I used a few years ago to simulate water hammer in a water pipe. From HAMMER read me file: HAMMER is a program which simulates the effects of water hammer in a reservoir and pipeline system in which a valve at the downstream end is opened or closed by the [...]
EPANET Programmer’s Toolkit
I have mentioned the EPANET toolkit several times before but didn’t post any information about it yet. The following info is from the toolkit readme file: EPANET is a program that analyzes the hydraulic and water quality behavior of water distribution systems. The EPANET Programmer’s Toolkit is a dynamic link library (DLL) of functions that [...]
HEC-RAS Version 3.1.3 Release
