XPSWMM by xpsoftwareis said to be complete software package for modeling stormwater and wastewater flows and pollutants. It may be 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 applied to [...]
BackSense – contamination source detection software
BackSense is new methodology to identify the possible sources location and time frame of a contamination that may cause the trigger of a set of water quality sensors that are part of an Early Contamination Warning System (ECWS). The basic idea of BackSense it to identify all the networks nodes that can “reach” a specific [...]
