Why better PRV modeling leads to better pressure management
Some hydraulic modeling software maintains downstream pressure artificially whenever sufficient upstream head exists. While computationally convenient, this can mask valve sizing and operational issues that become apparent under varying flow conditions. Learn how InfoWorks WS Pro improves PRV design using valve headloss curves to give you a more realistic view of what’s happening. Pressure Reducing…

What is EPANET? A practical guide for water engineers
If you’ve spent any time working in water distribution modeling, you’ve probably come across EPANET. EPANET is a software tool used to simulate the hydraulic and water quality behavior of pressurized water distribution systems. Engineers use it to model how water moves through networks of pipes, nodes, pumps, and valves, and to understand how those…

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…
