I have a EPANET model which I want to validate in WaterGEMS. I have imported it successfully and validated it. But then, I got an error (image below)
PS: I have reservoir and nodes (junctions) in my model already

Your model appears to be missing pipes (or have closed pipes) connecting these nodes to the source.
Hello Abdulquawiyy,
In addition to Tom's reply, after importing the EPANET model available on WaterGEMS, I noticed that a main section of the network is imported disconnected from the rest of the network, so to be able to repair your model and receive a successful simulation of your network, you must reconnect these nodes of the model. As exemplified by the nodes highlighted in green below:
To find the disconnected sections, you can follow the steps described in the article below:
Node / Pipe is not connected to, or is isolated from, a boundary (reservoir or tank) user notification
Two other useful articles for importing EPANET files are:

Thank you Luca, I have connected it and it's been validated.
Thank you
