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…
