This is a guest post<\/strong> by Mark Wilson<\/em>, founder of AccuModel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hello readers of the water-simulation blog.\u00a0I am happy to announce the release of the first version of our first product AccuWater. This is an EPANET2 based water distribution system modeling software implemented as a web application. To help you understand why I would put time and resources into creating such a thing, let me give you a little background.<\/p>\n

For the past ten years, I have worked in the water distribution system modeling and master planning industry.\u00a0Six and one half of those years were spent working for a major modeling software vendor.\u00a0While working for this vendor, I met with many utilities trying to get useful results from the time and money that they have invested in their model.\u00a0I made many observations over this time period but two of them stand out to me.\u00a0First, not every utility or consultant can afford expensive modeling software.\u00a0Second, not every potential user of a hydraulic model has the patience to learn a full and complex modeling package.<\/p>\n

This is where AccuModel comes in, we think that there are many engineers out there that can make use of hydraulic modeling using an existing EPANET based model if there were only a cost effective and simple way to do the basic types of analysis that they are interested in.\u00a0This is why we have created AccuWater.<\/p>\n

Some of the many great things about AccuWater are:<\/p>\n
