How engineers model surges in real systems using water hammer software
Water systems don’t always behave gradually. Sometimes, they change in an instant. A pump shuts down, a valve closes, the flow suddenly stops – and a pressure wave travels through the system. Pipes vibrate, pressures spike, and water utility workers shudder inside because they know their infrastructure has been put at risk. They may ask…

Hydraulic modeling explained: a guide to 1D, 2D and integrated catchment modeling
Hydraulic modelling is the simulation of how water flows through systems such as pipes, rivers, and surface floodplains. Engineers use it to predict water levels, flow rates, and flood risk, helping design and manage water infrastructure under different conditions. Hydraulic modeling often combines 1D and 2D approaches to represent both network flows and surface behavior…

Forecasting water system performance by connecting SCADA and hydraulic models
Utilities are increasingly expected to move faster – from reacting to system conditions to anticipating what comes next. In a recent Autodesk Water Drop walkthrough video, Tim Medearis walks you through how utilities can compare real-time SCADA data with hydraulic model results and forecast future system behavior by connecting Info360 Insight and InfoWater Pro. These…

Make smarter asset decisions and get better fire flow insights in InfoWater Pro 2026.2
Water utilities are under increasing pressure to do more with limited resources by prioritizing the right assets, validating system capacity, and delivering reliable results they can trust. Hydraulic models play a critical role in these decisions, but only when insights are easy to generate, easy to explain, and grounded in real-world system behavior. In InfoWater…

InfoWater Pro’s Leakage Allocator: improve your ROI-based decision making with asset management data
We’re pioneering a new approach to leakage modeling by tying it together with the wealth of asset management data that utilities regularly collect and maintain. Water distribution systems are complex networks. One of the continual challenges faced by municipalities and utilities is managing leakage and ultimately reducing non-revenue water. Leakage problems represent a loss of…

Hydraulic model calibration: a continuous, dynamic method for water distribution systems
Calibrating a water quality model accurately can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve created a way to speed up and automate the process. Summary Virtually every water distribution system model requires some level of calibration adjustment so that your model accurately represents the behavior of the real water system you…

3 things we learned at ACE 2025 in Denver
It’s always amazed me that all North American water utilities essentially do the same things – cleanse, distribute, and collect water – but the methodologies they use vary widely. If you look at almost every other established industry, there’s often a set or standardized way of solving problems or serving customers. When one competitor makes…

New for InfoWater Pro 2026: advanced Leakage Modeling
Water distribution systems are complex networks, as you already know. One of the persistent challenges faced by municipalities and utilities is managing leakage – and ultimately reducing non-revenue water. Leakage problems represent a loss of valuable water resources, but they also impact the efficiency and sustainability of water distribution systems. Now, with the 2026 release of…

Generate dynamic digital twin hydraulic models with InfoWater Pro and Info360 Insight
Water distribution utilities around the world are facing a rising number of challenges to maintain and operate their increasingly complex networks on tighter and tighter budgets. In the United States, 6 billion gallons of treated water is lost daily and 30% of water utility budgets for operations and maintenance are spent on energy costs for…
