WATSYS

Water Supply System Design, Analysis and Management Software.

WATSYS will help you analyze, design and manage your water supply system. It is a comprehensive graphic information system (GIS) for your water infrastructure.

This software will simulate situations to identify and correct deficiencies in an existing distribution system, to expand a system to meet future demands, or to predict a system's performance during such emergencies as pump failures, main breaks, equipment malfunctions or fire flows. It may be used to carry out simulations for peak usage periods and low demand cycles. WATSYS can also perform water quality analysis including chlorine decay, fluoride distribution, source tracing and water age. Models may be created to better understand the movement and transformation of treated water.

WATSYS runs alone, but if you have AutoCAD, the two will work together. Use your own base plan to capture node and pipe locations. Our toolbar makes it easy to pick, place, locate or edit water system components. Generate detailed drawings using the same color-coding as the key plans.

Key Plans

Use powerful keyed nodes and pipes on key plans to view or edit information or to locate nodes and pipes on spreadsheets or AutoCAD drawings. Use them to view or connect CivilSystems properties. They let you navigate in a simple way with little effort.

• point-and-click to locate keyed nodes and pipes between spreadsheets, key plans, AutoCAD and CivilSystems
• use pop-up labels to display your choice of information when your cursor is placed over a keyed node or pipe
• double-click a keyed node or pipe to edit
• image zoom, copy to clipboard, save, print
• insert labels or legend on image
• size pipe lines to correspond to diameters
• color-code pipes to visualize critical information
• click a keyed node or pipe and plot its time series graph
• watch animations as pipe colors coded to water pressure, velocity, head loss, quality and age change over time
• zoom in on a specific area and then watch an animation to a chosen time


CivilSystems Connection

Use our CivilSystems property connector as an option to apply loads to your network. Build and maintain a database of city lots, houses, apartments, office buildings, streets or other properties. Import water meter data to calibrate your model. Pick polylines from an AutoCAD drawing to get areas. Predict the effects of development by extracting loads of various scenarios such as present-use, ultimate density (built-out) or future zoning.

Water Supply Model

The basis for the analysis is EPANET which was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

• switch easily between time intervals and analysis modes:
• steady-state
• extended time period
• water quality:
• chemical concentration
• water age
• source tracing
• pumps specified as useful power or rating curve
• reservoirs as tanks or fixed hydraulic grades
• control valves with grade, flow or throttle settings
• open and close pipes using switching grades
• pipe status as open, closed, or check valve
• handle curved or irregular alignments with fixed length options
• search for or sort nodes and pipes, select them for printing
• generate pipe lengths from coordinates
• calibrate pipe wall reaction rates with roughness coefficients
• calibrate roughness coefficients with pipe sizes, materials, ages, flow velocities


Results

View analysis results on spreadsheets, reports, graphs or plans.

• node pressures, hydraulic grades and demands
• water quality as chemical concentration, water age or percent from source
• pipe flows, velocities and head losses
• pump heads, reservoir levels
• totals of pipe lengths by diameter and material
