ABSTRACT

H H2Onet® Integrated water distribution analysis and optimization software devel-

oped by MW Soft, Inc., of Pasadena, CA. It includes five utility programs to (a) track flow and velocity in pipes, pressure and flow at nodes, water height and volume in tanks, movement and fate of constituents in the system; (b) formulate and assess improvement solutions; (c) determine pipe roughness coefficients that best match field observations; (d) locate the minimum number of isolation valves to close to separate a pipe from the rest of the network; and (e) reduce the model size for easier analysis, e.g., by removing pipes with less than a specified diameter.
