• User Inputted Water Age Increase Through Tank

    Can you enter a known water age time increase through a tank to be used with overall age calculations? I.E. the time it takes water to go through a specific ground storage tank is known from CFD modeling for a specific flowrate. Can this value be directly…
  • Water Age (Maximum) - Export to Shapefile

    Hello, It doesn't seem like there is a way to export the water age (maximum) results into a shapefile, since that is not a flextable column, which makes sense since the maximums are not necessarily associated with the same timestep. What is the recommended…
  • Tanks short-circuiting in water age model

    Hello, I am building a water age model of a regional water distribution system that involves 10 tanks throughout the system. Six of the tanks (highlighted in red in the below snip) do not have separate inlets, and I am experiencing short-circuiting…
  • Visualizing water age results

    Hi all, Has anyone come up with some creative options for visualizing water age in GIS? If you're only looking at a small area, simply making a color/size-varying symbology from exported junction or pipe tables is fine. But, for a large area, junctions…
  • RE: WaterGEMS Water Age 0.00

    Hannah, Below is a wiki solution that you should look at for why your water age in your model is showing 0. communities.bentley.com/.../12729.why-is-the-water-age-on-all-my-pipes-and-nodes-0 As far as your other questions go, usually you don't want a…
  • RE: water Age and Reservoir Pattern

    RSP, I see the results that you are talking about and they are displayed by the graph below: The reason this is happening is because at 16 hours when you pattern stops flow from the reservoir there is no new supply of water entering the system,…
  • Water Age Varies with tank capacity

    Hi All, I am having an issue with water gems v8i (SS4) model. The issue is, Age of water in the network / pipe varies when initial level of the tank, though initial age at tank is mentioned as 0 in the age alternative. Why this is happening?. I believe…
  • RE: Age ( maximum) and Travel Time

    That's a very good question and most of the time you will find a very good explanation in Water Quality books. So, I encourage you to go through some of the books to fully understand the nature. Here's what I generally do for reporting Water Quality results…
  • Running Water Age Scenario in WaterGEMS, how to present in ArcMAP?

    Hi all, I have recently started this modelling job and my predecessor used to create water age maps with the results from WaterGEMS using ArcMAP. I have successfully modelled our cities water age. Somehow he used to get the resultant table from…
  • Re: Water Age

    Hello, I'm curious how you are checking the water age value. Are you looking at the "Age (Calculated)" field in the properties of the demand node, for a certain time, or are you graphing the age over time? Are you using a sufficiently small calculation…
