• Hydraulic Analysis on Agriculture Irrigation System

    I have a short agricultural irrigation system (a main) that provides water to farmers. The head of the system is a canal with a structure that provides a constant head of water elevation during the season. There is no pump to deliver water to the customers…
  • Pump Set to Off But is Adding Energy to the System

    This is in WaterCAD CONNECT Edition. My question stems from an issue with a tank in my model keeps overflowing during EPS run (fills up, remains full, doesn't drain). I believe I have identified the hydraulic grade is being supplied by a certain pump…
  • WaterGEMS LoadBuilder Parameters

    Greetings, I have defined the Thiessen polygons and the water meter shapefile layers in a water model, prior to inputting them to LoadBuilder. I have also added to the water meter point feature shapefile, a new field including the demands for each…
  • Large Negative Pressure on model

    Hi, I am quite new to this software and am still in the learning process. I'd like to ask regarding a few uncertainties with my model which I believe are parts that I have missed out on. Firstly, I'd like to explain briefly on the background of the…
  • How can the WaterGEMS determine pipe diameter automatically based pressure and velocity constraint on optimization by Darwin designer but i'm not having costs of pipe?

  • Best way to duplicate waterlines and junctions for correct demand input

    I need to duplicate some pipelines and junctions in my model. The water leads connecting the waterlines to adjacent lots are only represented by one line when there should be two. Trying to input the correct demand (gpm) without just doubling the demand…
  • How to split crossing pipes in bulk?

    While building the model many pipes are crossing each other and I need to split them at the crossing point using junctions.
  • Constituent Types

    Hello, I want to know that which option is better constituent type to carry out booster chlorination study at node in Water Distribution Network? Thank You.
  • Demand Allocation

    Hi, I have a billing meter database which compromises properties with two or three kinds of consumption (e.g., residential, commercial and irrigation for an individual property). I imported these duplicate demands by individual LoadBulider run through…

  • Negative Flow in tank Top inlet fill

    I have an issue in the model, If you check the T-1 & T-3 inlet it was connected as a top inlet. When I run the simulation for avg daily demand I don't have any issue. However, when I check the properties of the tank the inlet pipe it shows negative flow…
  • No Flow in tank Top inlet fill

    Hi, I have another issue in the model, If you check the T-1 inlet it was connected as a top inlet. When I run the simulation for avg daily demand I don't have any issue. However, when I run the same model with Max daily demand scenario (Peak factor…
