Innovyze Releases PressureWatch: Breakthrough Real-Time Network Monitoring and Anomaly Detection Software for Smarter Water Utilities Next Generation Release Raises Bar for Smart Water Network Management Software, Delivers Economic, Operational and Environmental Benefits   Broomfield, Colorado USA,  November 27, 2012  —  Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the release of  PressureWatch  for drinking water distribution systems. This revolutionary real-time water network monitoring and anomaly detection software extends the utility of smart network modeling to include SCADA data acquisition and predictive forecasting and condition assessment capabilities. It will change the way water utilities around the world use pressure and flow data and network modeling to obtain real-time identification and warning of network performance problems, leaks, breaks, loss of system integrity, and other operati

Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map Atrribute Display by  dickinsonre Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer  and Arc Map Here is a typical view of  a siphon in InfoSewer, the rising links have a d/D of 1 and the dropping links typically have a d/D value less than 1.  The q/Q for the rising links is based on the slope and the dropping links typically have a q/Q less than 1 as the full flow is high due to the steep slopes.  You can show both the d/D and q/Q values in an Arc Map Display by using the following code.  I find it easier to first plot one variable using the InfoSewer Map Display followed by editing the TOC Properties for Pipes to show more than one variable at a time in the Label properties. Function FindLabel ([D_OVER_D],  [Q_OVER_Q] ) If IsNull([D_OVER_D]) then Exit Function FindLabel ="" &  FormatNumber([D_OVER_D],3) & "  d/D "  & "" &  FormatNumber([Q_OVER_Q],3) & " q/Q" End Fu

SWMM 4 and SWMM 5 St. Venant Solutions Contrasted SWMM 4 and SWMM 5 St. Venant Solutions Contrasted by  dickinsonre SWMM 4 and SWMM 5 St. Venant S olutions Contrasted 1. Compute at time  t+delta t  the values of dQ/dt for the Links and dH/dt for the Nodes from the properties at  time t 2 Iterate at least 2 times until either all nodes and links are converged or a maximum of 8 iterations are reached 3. Use the values of Q and H at time  t+delta t  for the new time step The SWMM5 Solution for Flow and Depth  at each time step.  The new depth and new flow is always based on the old depth and old flow and normally converges fast as the flow is gradually varied.   The solution is iterative and implicitly uses the new depth and flow at each iteration. The SWMM4 Solution for Flow and Depth is solved Explicitly  at each time step.  The new depth and new flow is always based on the old depth and old flow and and a half and full time step during the time step. via Blogger  http://www.swmm5.net/2

Annual International Conference on modeling urban water systems, Feb 21-22 2013 in Toronto - call for papers My note, this is a conference well worth attending, the  Convenor  is Dr Bill James and the venue is described at the CHIWater link shown below. Once again it's the time to request one or more abstracts for the Annual International Conference on the Modeling of Urban Water Systems (formerly SWMM users meeting), to be held Feb 21-22 2013 in Toronto (note the venue). As you probably know, this is the 46th (!) meeting in this extraordinary series. This year our featured speakers include many well-known scientists, researchers and engineers (listed on our website). The meeting is well attended: your audience exceeds 100 folks in your specialty. Also, the meeting is inexpensive, highly-regarded, professional, friendly and collaborative. Proceedings are produced as a peer-reviewed, integrated archival-quality book (you get the previous year's monograph at this conference, two

Sultanate of Oman Selects InfoWorks WS Smart Water Modeling Software to Advance Country’s Water Network Key Middle East Utility Looks to Innovyze Technology     Broomfield, Colorado USA,  November 20, 2012  —  Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced that Seureca Muscat, a subsidiary of Veolia Environment (NYSE: VE), in support of the Public Authority for Electricity and Water of the Sultanate of Oman has adopted  InfoWorks WS  smart water modeling software to improve the operation, maintenance and management of the country’s water utilities.

Subject:   How to Use Two Control Curves in SWMM 5 to Simulate a Head Difference Rule How to Use Two Control Curves in SWMM 5 to Simulate a Head Difference Rule by  dickinsonre Subject:   How to Use Two Control Curves in SWMM 5 to Simulate a Head Difference Rule   The SWMM 5 control rules for Real Time Control (RTC) do not allow the rule to be governed by the head across the orifice but does allow rules based on the depth, head and inflow at any node.  If you have an Orifice in which you want the Orifice to be open when the head difference across the Orifice is either less than or greater than zero then and closed when the head difference is close to zero then you can use two Orifices (Figure 1) and two rules (Figure 2) to control the orifice setting for Orifice1 and Orifice2.  In attached file the two rules have the settings set to two control curves.  Orifice1 will start open and close gradually as the depth at Node UPNode increases, Orifice2 will start closed and gradually open when
