  • MOVING HYDRANTS IN WATERGEMS

    I have set up a watermodel with my water main, hydrants, and services from each home. If the layout of my hydrant has changed, is there a way to shift these without deleting everything I have setup? When I try to drag and drop them it messes up my watermain…
  • WATER GEMS UNIT DEMAND AND PEAK FACTOR

    Typically in a residential subdivision in Alabama we have been using a unit demand (per residential home) of 350 gpd (.24 gpm). I was always taught to use a peak factor between 2-3 so 2.5*.24 gpm=.60 gpm per residential home. Is this overly conservative…

  • Partially Closed Valves in water supply system

    Hello, I'm modeling a high pressured water supply system full of partially closed valves (which people use as some kind of "prv's" to reduce pressure because they don't have enough money to buy it). The information they gave me is D(mm) of a valve,…
