This program solves water and irrigation networks, i.e. networks under pressure. The energy losses along the pipes are calculated based on one of the following friction formulas: Manning, Darcy-Weisbach or Hazen-Williams. Apart from hydraulic analysis, water quality analysis can also be performed. The program can be used for single or extended period analyses. The network may contain any number of objects, i.e. nodes, pipes, tanks, reservoirs, valves, hydrants, pumps, air release valves and vacuum valves. The profile drawings can be created with one click.

  • Solves water networks.
  • Solves irrigation networks.
  • Solves aquaducts.
  • Steady or time-varying solutions.
  • Quality solver:
    • Trace
    • Age of water in pipes

  • Calculation of node elevations using Google API (requires a free Google API key).
  • Unlimited time varying curves, controls and composite rules.
  • Supported friction formulas to calculate linear energy losses through the network elements:
    • Manning
    • Darcy-Weisbach
    • Hazen-Williams.
  • Calibration functions facilitate checking of existing networks.
  • Capability of creating a background collage of satellite images. The images are inserted through a special window in any resolution desired. The images are modified automatically (with translation, rotation, skewness) to fit a certain coordinate system. The overlap is precise and the boundary of the images is practically invisible. This allows the full coverage of the area of the project and diminishes the posibility of error. This capability requires an Internet connection. Also, the quality of the sattelite images varies.

This program calculates the water hammer caused by slow closing of a valve downstream. The water level of the tank is assumed constant. For the friction calculation, one of 15 available formulas may be used. The solver is based on the method of characteristic lines which substitutes the hyperbolic partial differential equations with common ones. The program can show the variation of the pressure, celerity and flow rate along the pipe in a visual and animated way, including the maximum over-pressure and sub-pressure. Alternatively, the results can be displayed in tabulated form.
