• WaterCAD UDF Flushing simulations velocity

    When running WaterCAD UDF Flushing simulations, when I isolate out a pipe section in the network, why do other pipes in the network still have flow even though there is theoretically no source?
  • Customers meters association in the juctions but considering the closest pipe

    In old WaterGEMS V8i It could associate Customers Meters in the juctions but first checking the closest pipe. I mean, the software get the closest pipe then considering the distance of the start and stop node it get associated with the closest node. In…

  • Tank Filling Above Hydraulic Grade of Reservoir

    I am attempting to model a raw water intake using a reservoir to model the river which provides flow to a circular well with vertical turbine pumps that deliver flow to a treatment plant. I have set downstream FCV's to accept 60 MGD from the pumps,…
  • I am getting zero flow in pipes even tough its junction has demand

    I have checked but cant seem to find a problem, please suggest what is the issue many of my pipes are showing 0 flow. And is the tank specs correct in my network please checkonce, i have a tank with GL 197, at a height 0f 25m from ground and has flow…

  • How to attach an existing junction on an existing pipe line?

    I am working on a model in which many of the junctions are not on the existing pipeline. So, I want to attach the existing junction(which is not attached to the pipeline) to the existing pipeline by not creating a new junction on the pipeline and splitting…

    Hi, I have a situation where I have to design a gravity network such that I have to utilize the existing pipe in a given network. How to design a parallel pipe in a gravity distribution network. Suppose, the existing pipe has a dia of 100 mm and would…
  • Use of PRV in potable water network in WaterCAD

    I am using a PRV to control the pressure downstream. My model has 2 reservoirs. The PRV is placed on the pipe which isolates the loop upstream of it. This gives me a looped network upstream of the PRV connected to a reservoir (R-1). I have another reservoir…
  • Potable Water Distribution Design for communities - use of PRV's

    Hi all, I have a general question on the use of PRV's at individual services for a "closed" distribution system, i.e. pumps directly draw from a treated reservoir and feed to end-users with no elevated/pressure tank and storage elsewhere. I have come…

    Hello, How could I locate an isolation valve at a specific position on a pipe with a schematic drawing? Can an isolation valve replaced by another type of valves in watergems to do the same task?
  • Actual Fire Flow Much Lower than the Ones in the Model

    Dear Community I just had 16 hydrant tests throughout a City of about 30,000 to calibrate the water model. When I compared the fire flows with the model, actual fire flows were lower by 700 gpm on average , 600 gpm on median. At one location, it was…
