NEW WATER FUNCTIONALITY

 

The Water module in the latest 6.3 version has been enhanced to improve user productivity. This powerful, yet easy to use module is used for the analysis and extended time simulation of fluid handling networks with pipes, valves, reservoirs and pump stations, and now has even greater functionality!

The program allows you to import and export map themes with ease. This function is especially handy with the increasing importance of GIS in local municipalities, as many consultants are now required to supply their data in a format that will allow importing into their client’s GIS model. The completion of this task is seamless with the new version, as the program can both read and write ArcView SHP files, Regis files and MapInfo Mif / TAB files, allowing for quick and easy transfer of data.

 

 

 

 

You can even calculate water losses for your network, and will be able to supply reports and graphs to back up this important area of interest. Pipe flow, pipe pressure and reservoir reports have also been added in order to provide the user with information pertaining to the minimum / maximum flow and velocity, volume of water transferred, and pressure along pipes during the simulation. Users will find the pump station report particularly useful, as it reports operating hours, volume of water and energy consumption.
