Innovyze Unveils BalanceNet for IWLive, Next Generation of Real-Time Energy Management and Sustainability Software for Smarter Water Utilities New Release Raises Bar for Energy and Water Quality Management Software, Delivers Economic, Operational and Environmental Benefits   Broomfield, Colorado USA,  October 16, 2012  —  Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the Beta release of  BalanceNet . This new state-of-the-art real-time energy management and sustainability solution for drinking water distribution systems will change the way water utility operators around the world make informed decisions on managing their water supply and distribution systems to maximize energy savings, lower carbon emissions, enhance water quality, and optimize system performance. Energy costs generally constitute the largest expenditure for nearly all water utilities worldwide, consuming a...

Nobel economics prize goes to two Americans: Lloyd Shapley, Alvin Roth By  Neil Irwin ,  Updated: Monday, October 15,  8:46 AM Two researchers whose work has made for better matchups among students and the schools they wish to attend, and between kidney donors and recipients, were awarded the  Nobel Prize in economics Monday. Lloyd Shapley and Alvin E. Roth  will share the $1.2 million prize for work that broke new theoretical ground (in the case of Shapley) and resulted in concrete uses for that theory (developed by Roth). It is an award that is not terribly relevant to the great macroeconomic crises of the day but that honors work that provided a deeper understanding of how markets work and put that knowledge to use for the practical benefit of humanity. “The combination of Shapley’s basic theory and Roth’s empirical investigations, experiments and practical design has generated a flourishing field of research and improved the performance of many mar...

Note:   How to Use the Arc Map Editor in InfoSWMM How to Use the Arc Map Editor in InfoSWMM by  dickinsonre Note:   How to Use the Arc Map Editor in I nfoSWMM Step 1  is to use the Edit Feature for example the Subcatchment layer to bring up the Arc Map Editor Tool. Step 2  is to use the Reshape Feature tool or Vertex tools to bring together mis matched Subcatchment Boundaries Step 3  is to use save the edits and then Update the DB from the Map to recalculate the area of the Subcatchments Sh . via Blogger  http://www.swmm5.net/2013/08/ how-to-use-arc-map-editor-in- infoswmm.html

Subject:   SWMM 5 Control Rules for Pumps If you want to define the setting for a pump between the Pump On and Pump Off depths then an IF statement based on the Pump flow will work better as in this example, which changes the setting for the pump between a depth of 18 and 20 meters.   The IF statement based on flow will ensure the rule only applies when the Pump Control depth is moving from the Pump On depth to the Pump Off depth and NOT between the Pump Off and Pump On depth.  Figure 1 shows how the Pump Flow is related to the Pump Setting. RULE  CONTROL_Rule2 IF  PUMP  PUMP1 FLOW > 0.000000 AND NODE WELL HEAD > 18.000000 AND NODE WELL HEAD < 20.000000 THEN  PUMP  PUMP1 SETTING = 0.700000 PRIORITY 2.000000 Figure 1     Pump  Flow is related to the  Pump  Setting

How is the Time of Flooding Calculated in SWMM 5? by  dickinsonre The time flooding in SWMM 5 is pretty simple: 1. It is the sum of all time steps in which excess flow is coming out of the top of the manhole or 2. If you are using the ponding option then it is the time the surface pond has more than zero depth. via Blogger  http://www.swmm5.net/2013/08/ how-is-time-of-flooding- calculated-in.html

Hydrology and Floodplain Analysis (5th Edition)  [Hardcover] Philip B. Bedient  (Author),  Wayne C. Huber  (Author),  Baxter E. Vieux  (Author) This text offers a clear and up-to-date presentation of fundamental concepts and design methods required to understand hydrology and floodplain analysis.
