Water Distribution


Water Distribution (WD) modules
The WD components are based on DHI extensions to the worldwide standard EPANET engine.The basic WD components included in the Model Manager module are:

  • Steady state simulations
  • Extended period simulations
  • Water quality simulations under extended period conditions

A number of engineering tools are provided with the Model Manager module:

Fire Flow Analysis
  • Allows rapid analysis of proposed water distribution system improvements to meet fire flow requirements.
  • Calculates available flow for designed residual pressure
  • Calculates residual pressure for designed flow

Demand Allocation and Distribution
  • Sophisticated development of junction node demands based on CIS system
  • Geocoding and aggregating of the consumption data
  • Computes water demands for each node in the network system based upon several distribution methods
Water Quality Analysis
  • Blending water from different sources
  • Age of water throughout a system
  • Chlorine residuals
  • Growth of disinfection byproducts
  • Contaminant propagation
WD Tools (add-on module)

The WD Tools add-on module provides a number of useful tools, which significantly enhance the water distribution part of MIKE URBAN Model Manager. The tools include:

  • Automatic calibration of water distribution network models
  • Advanced fire-flow tool for analysing the capacity of water distribution systems
  • Advanced control simulation options for extended period simulations
