1) Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management (AWDM) - To effectively use water distribution models, the engineer must be able to link knowledge of basic hydraulic theory and the mechanics of the program with that of the operation of real-world systems.
Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management provides practical resources for engineers and modelers that go well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program. The book contains straightforward answers to common questions related both to modeling and to distribution systems in general. It walks the practicing engineer or student through the modeling process from start to finish - from datacollection and field-testing to using a model for system design and complex operational tasks. Specific to HAMMER, Chapter 13 of Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management also explores the theory and practical use the types of transient analyses that HAMMER uses.

H2ONet Analyzer is the most powerful and complete water distribution modeling, analysis and design software. It performs fast, reliable, and comprehensive hydraulic and dynamic water quality modeling, energy management, real-time simulation and control, fire flow analysis, and with automated on-line SCADA interface. The program can also be effectively used to analyze pressurized sewer collection systems.
H2ONet MSX (Multi-Species eXtension) adds very powerful modeling capabilities including the unprecedented ability to accurately model multiple interacting contaminants (using water quality components rather than contaminants) as well as sediment deposition and re-suspension in drinking water distribution systems. H2ONet MSX allows users to model very complex reaction schemes between multiple chemical and biological species in the water distribution piping system, both in the bulk flow and at the pipe wall. This structure gives users the flexibility to accurately model multi-source, multi-quality systems and a wide range of important chemical reactions including free chlorine loss, formation of disinfection byproducts, nitrification dynamics, disinfectant residuals, pathogen inactivation, chloramine decomposition, and adsorption on pipe walls.
While there are a number of commercially available programs for modeling the hydraulic and water quality behavior of drinking water distribution systems, their water quality component is limited to a certain number of fixed kinetic models, and to tracking the transport and fate of a single chemical species, such as fluoride or free chlorine. H2ONet MSX can effectively model any system of multiple, interacting chemical species. In addition, the program allows users to input any mathematical models of physical, chemical, and biological reactions in the bulk water and on pipe surfaces. It also accepts any number of user-specified (adding water quality) parameters and formulas for process models.
H2ONet MSX can also be effectively used to track the movement, fate and build up of particulate material in the water distribution system. It considers both settling of particles under gravity as well as deposition of particles on the pipe walls due to particle/pipe surface attractive forces. This feature can greatly assist water utilities in improving distribution design to minimize dirty water and forge closer ties with their customers.
Another powerful and unique feature of H2ONet MSX is its critical ability to accurately simulate spatial and temporal variations in water temperature and temperature gradients throughout any water distribution system. This gives water utilities unprecedented power to model temperature dynamics within their distribution systems for improved thermal design and operation and optimal safeguarding of public health.
Maintaining a safe and comfortable temperature range (e.g., between 4 to 11 degrees C) in drinking water distribution systems throughout the year is a growing concern for water utilities worldwide. Temperatures outside the normal range can cause a significant discomfort to customers during both extremely hot and cold months. In addition, temperature directly and indirectly affects all the factors that govern microbial growth. It therefore influences treatment plant efficiency, microbial growth rate, disinfection efficiency, dissipation of disinfectant residuals, corrosion and metal release rates, maintenance and chemical additive costs, and distribution system hydraulics and water velocity created by customer demand. H2ONet MSX enables users to model very complex heat transfer mechanisms between the water in the distribution pipes and the ambient environment. It directly considers the influence of ambient temperature, wall material and thickness, flow conditions, buried depth, and other pertinent variables that determine how much heat will intrude into the water in the distribution pipes. Ambient temperature can be the air temperature of the upper cover (soil, grass and pavement), and can be described as either a constant or a time-varying pattern.
H2ONet MSX gives water utilities the vital ability to maintain a relatively constant water temperature in their drinking water distribution systems within a desirable range and help them optimize their overall treatment and distribution processes and improve customer satisfaction.
EPA's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is used throughout the world for planning, analysis, and design related to stormwater runoff, combined and sanitary sewers, and other drainage systems. It can be used to evaluate gray infrastructure stormwater control strategies, such as pipes and storm drains, and is a useful tool for creating cost-effective green/gray hybrid stormwater control solutions. SWMM was developed to help support local, state, and national stormwater management objectives to reduce runoff through infiltration and retention, and help to reduce discharges that cause impairment of waterbodies.
Abstract:Modern water distribution networks (WDNs) are complex and difficult to manage due to increased level of urbanization, varying consumer demands, ageing infrastructure, operational costs, and inadequate water resources. The management problems in such complex networks may be classified into short-term, medium-term, and long-term, depending on the duration at which the problems are solved or considered. To address the management problems associated with WDNs, mathematical models facilitate analysis and improvement of the performance of water infrastructure at minimum operational cost, and have been used by researchers, water utility managers, and operators. This paper presents a detailed review of the management problems and essential mathematical models that are used to address these problems at various phases of WDNs. In addition, it also discusses the main approaches to address these management problems to meet customer demands at the required pressure in terms of adequate water quantity and quality. Key challenges that are associated with the management of WDNs are discussed. Also, new directions for future research studies are suggested to enable water utility managers and researchers to improve the performance of water distribution networks.Keywords: calibration; modelling; optimization; reliability; security; vulnerability; water distribution networks; water quality 2ff7e9595c
