Goochland County, VA, Selects InfoSewer Pro and InfoWater MSX for Advanced Engineering-GIS Modeling and Management
Smart Water Solutions to Support Comprehensive Master Planning Effort
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, August 19, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced that Goochland County Department of Public Utilities (GCDPU) in Virginia has chosen Innovyze industry-leading smart water network modeling solutions software to manage its drinking water and wastewater systems. The addition of InfoWater MSX and InfoSewer Pro suites will assist GCDPU in addressing critical planning, operational and water quality issues with maximum effectiveness.
“We were searching for a complete GIS-centric modeling solution for both water and wastewater networks,” said Todd Kilduff, P.E., Director of Public Utilities for GCDPU. “Both InfoSewer and InfoWater MSX integrate directly with our GIS, giving us the most efficient tool set available to tackle short- and long-term planning issues. The powers of these packages will help us evaluate hydraulic capacity and water quality issues, optimize our capital improvement program and continue delivering a high level of service to our customers.”
Developed and supported by industry experts with direct support to geodatabases, the innovative network modeling technology of the Innovyze geospatial water and wastewater software family addresses every facet of utility infrastructure management, operation, and protection — delivering the highest rate of return in the industry. Engineers and GIS professionals can easily analyze and simulate various conditions; accurately assess multi-source, multi-quality systems; pinpoint system deficiencies; and determine the most cost-effective physical and operational improvements to achieve optimum performance and regulatory compliance while enhancing community relations.
“By far, Innovyze offers the most comprehensive array of ArcGIS-centric hydraulic infrastructure modeling and management solutions in the water and wastewater industries,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, Innovyze’s President, COO and Chief Technical Officer. “We design each of these critical geocentric system dynamics tools to help our customers do their jobs better, faster, easier and at lower cost. These advantages lead to quicker, more informed decision making and enhanced capital planning. We’re proud to know that our industry-leading solutions will be helping Goochland County leverage its GIS investment and build a solid foundation for success in the decades to come.”

Orifice and Weir flow calculations

Note: Orifice and Weir Flow Computations The orifice flow calculation proceeds as follows: 1. Initially and whenever the setting (i.e., the fraction opened) changes, flow coefficients for both orifice and weir behavior are computed as follows: a. For side orifices: Define Hcrit = h/2 where h is the opening height. b. For bottom orifices: i. For a circular orifice, compute area over length (i.e., circumference) as AL = h /4. ii. For a rectangular orifice compute AL = h*w/(2*(h+w)) where w is the opening width. iii. Compute Hcrit = Cd*AL/0.414 where Cd is the orifice discharge coefficient. At step 1b, the critical head for the bottom orifice, where orifice flow turns into weir flow, is found by equating the result of the orifice equation to that of the weir equation Cd*Area*sqrt(2g)*sqrt(Hcrit) = Cw*Length*sqrt(Hcrit)*Hcrit or Hcrit = (Cd * Area) / (Cw/sqrt(2g) * Length) The value of Cw/sqrt(2g) for a sharp crested weir is 0.414.

EMC Washoff in SWMM5

Image
There are four steps to using EMC concentrations in your network: 1. Define your pollutant by adding a pollutant using the Data=>Quality=>Pollutant command : 2. Define the Land Use by using the Data=>Land Uses command or the Land Use Editor: 3. Define Buildup to be None by clicking on the None Tab: 4. Define the EMC Washoff concentration by clicking on the Washoff Tab: This is where you would add a GW concentration More: http://www.swmm2000.com/
