EPANET was developed as a tool for understanding the movement and fate of drinking water constituents within distribution systems, and can be used for many different kinds of applications in distribution systems analysis. EPANET can be used to design and size new water infrastructure, retrofit existing aging infrastructure, optimize operations of tanks and pumps, reduce energy… Read More →
Hydraulic Models
Diffusion Analogy Flow Model (DAFLOW)
The model provides a time series of discharge, flow area, top width, and tributary inflow at node points along a system of one-dimensional open channels. The time series of hydraulic variables can be used as input hydraulics by a transport model, such as the BLTM water quality model. The model is designed to operate with a minimum of… Read More →
MOdel for Urban SEwers (MOUSE)
MOUSE is a comprehensive modeling system for analysis of urban drainage and sewer systems including links to GIS. MOUSE simulates spatial variations in flows, water levels, sediment transport and pollution in pipes and open drains. MOUSE can be used for the prediction of hydraulic deficiencies, overflow sites, flood inundation areas, effect of real-time control, etc. MOUSE engine is used in… Read More →
Physical Habitat Simulation (PHABSIM)
The purpose of the Physical Habitat Simulation System (PHABSIM) is to simulate a relationship between streamflow and physical habitat for various life stages of a species of fish or a recreational activity. The basic objective of physical habitat simulation is to obtain a representation of the physical stream so that the stream may be linked,… Read More →
