    DESCRIPTION
    EPANET models flow rate, pressure, and water quality (contaminant concentration) in a water distribution system.
    The modeled network can consist of:
    Nodes:
    pipe junctions
    storage tanks, and
    reservoirs.
    Links:
    pipes
    pumps
    valves

    DESCRIPTION
     EPANET models:
     flow of water in pipes,
     pressure at junctions,
     height of water in tanks,
     concentration of a chemical,
     water age, and
     source tracing (trace the source of a
    contaminant)

    CAPABILITIES
     Extended period hydraulic analysis
     Can model systems of any size
     Computes friction head loss using one
    of the following equations
     Hazen-Williams,
     Darcy-Weisbach, or
     Chezy-Manning
     Allows minor head losses for
    bends, fittings, etc.
     Models constant or variable speed pumps
     Computes pumping energy and cost
    8
    CAPABILITIES
    Models various types of valves including:
    Shutoff valves
    Check valves
    Pressure regulating valves
    Flow control valves
    Models storage tanks of any shape (i.e., diameter can vary with height)
    Allows multiple demand categories at nodes, each with its own pattern of time var

    APPLICATIONS
    Plan and improve a system's hydraulic performance
    Pipe, pump and valve placement and sizing
    Fire flow analysis
    Maintain and improve the quality of water delivered to consumers
    Study disinfectant loss and by-product formation
    Evaluate alternative strategies for improving water quality such as:
    Altering source utilization within multi-source systems,
    Modifying pumping and tank filling/emptying schedules to reduce water age,
    Utilizing booster disinfection stations at key locations to maintain target residuals
    10
    USER INTERFACE
     Provides a visual network editor that
    simplifies the process of building
    piping network models and editing
    their properties.
     Various data reporting and
    visualization tools are used to assist in
    interpreting the results of a network
    analysis. These include:
     Graphical views (time series plots,
    profile plots, contour plots, etc.),
     Tabular views, and
     Special reports (e.g., energy usage).

    EPANET EXAMPLES
    EPANET comes with three example pipe networks to help one become familiar with the program.
    The example input files are installed in the “Examples” folder underneath the EPANET 2 installation directory
    C:\Program Files\EPANET2\Examples
    Examples include:
    net1.net: a simple pipe network modeling chlorine decay
    net2.net: an example of a tracer study utilizing calibration data
    net2-FL.dat: calibration data used with net2.net
    net3.net: a larger network model illustrating source tracing
