InfoWater To Support Comprehensive Geospatial Water Infrastructure Management for Coconut Creek, Florida
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, October 28, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced that the City of Coconut Creek, Florida, has chosen the company’s industry-leading InfoWater to support its enterprise-wide geospatial water distribution network modeling and management needs. The purchase will enable the City to address critical planning, design, and operational issues with maximum effectiveness; optimize asset management and capital improvement programs; and improve customer service.
Spotlighted as one of the “Best Cities to Live in America” by Money Magazine, the City of Coconut Creek purchases water in bulk at wholesale prices from Broward County and subsequently sells the water to its 55,000 residents at a lower cost than they would pay if the services were purchased directly from the County. In addition, the City invests in constructing, maintaining, and rehabilitating its infrastructure to ensure that all water services are delivered in a safe, efficient, and cost effective manner.
“InfoWater software is a vital component of our drinking water system master planning program,” said Dennis Westrick, Utility Engineer for Coconut Creek. “Its rich functionality, comprehensive modeling and simulation capabilities and seamless ArcGIS integration will help us manage our network asset data and collaborate more effectively, evaluate multiple scenarios, and make informed decisions on how to best improve our overall water system efficiency and performance.”
Built atop ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA), InfoWater seamlessly integrates sophisticated predictive analytics, systems dynamics and optimization functionality directly within the powerful ArcGIS setting. From fire flow and water quality simulations, valve criticality and energy cost analysis to pressure zone management and advanced Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm optimization, the InfoWater product suite comes equipped with everything water utility owner-operators need to best plan, design, operate, secure and sustain their distribution systems.
The software also serves as a base platform for advanced smart network modeling, operation, capital planning and asset management extensions. Among these critical applications are IWLive (real-time operations and security);InfoWater UDF (unidirectional flushing); CapPlan (risk-based capital planning); InfoMaster and InfoMaster Mobile(asset integrity management and condition assessment); InfoWater MSX (multi-species, temperature, and particle transport/deposition modeling); InfoWater BTX (event/particle backtracking); InfoSurge (surge/transient analysis); Sustainability (carbon footprint calculation); BalanceNet (real-time energy management and operations optimization); PressureWatch (real-time network hydraulic integrity monitoring); QualWatch (real-time network water quality integrity monitoring); DemandWatch (water demand forecasting); DemandAnalyst (real-time water demand and diurnal pattern estimations); and SCADAWatch (real-time business intelligence and network performance monitoring).
“Unmatched capabilities, powerful functionalities and ease of use are only part of the reason for the astronomical rate of adoption our smart water modeling products enjoy among utilities and engineering firms worldwide,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, President, COO and Chief Technical Officer of Innovyze. “Their proven track record of fast, successful implementation and the continuous, exceptional technical support we provide are equally critical. We’re proud that the City of Coconut Creek chose Innovyze as its solution partner. We look forward to helping this leadership enterprise achieve many more decades of world-class performance, along with breakthrough cost savings.”

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/
