I am doing some reasearch on water distribution, want to find some free data of SCADA reading, like real-time user demand meter reading, pump discharge pressure, storage tank water level.
are there any websites I can download from?
thanks.
I know Benley Hammer and H20 Surge, do you guys have any idea, which one is better?
I know H2O Surge is AutoCAD based, which makes model building easier. While Bentley Hammer is stand alone.
any comments are welcome.
For example, I have a subdivision, it has a master meter, the monthly bill showed 72,000 gallon per day, that equals to 50 gpm average flow.
There is a internal water network inside the subdivision, how can I allocate the 50 gpm to the nodes? the WaterCAD book introduces me to use GIS spatial...
I have a 1-foot contour drawing, they are a group of ploylines.
each polyline represent an elevation value, however, It is not labeled. In order to know the elevation, you have to click the polyline to see the property table.
How can i label these polyline properly? the software I use is...
can we change a setup value of the control valve automatically? by using solenoid control?
for example, I have a pressure sustaining valve, I want the setting change by time, like, from 0-4am, the setting is 80 psi, 4-8am, the setting is 70 psi, 8am-12pm, the setting is 60 psi.
thanks.
I am working on a water distribution modeling, the software I use is WaterCAD V8i.
on my model file, there are 7 Ground storage tanks, one pressure sustaining valve on the feed line of each GST.
what is the use of the pressure sustaining valve? I check the Bermad control valve catalogue, it...
get a question:
Can fire hydrant be installed on 4-in water line? all the fire marshall regulated that it shall be installed on at least 6-in water line.
Some of my friends told me that it used to be OK to install FH on 4-in water line.
can anyone give me a more detailed introduction? Thanks.
when you guys do pressure pipe model, do you predefine the pipe minor loss coefficient?
I always use 1.5, no matter what pipe size, length. Today, when I read a report prepared by another engineering firm, they put 0.
what is you guys' suggestion?
I have two major Questions:
1) what is the function of Zone? I am using a three pipe template to learn WaterCAD, I changed the zone for a junction, it did not change the modeling results. does that mean WaterCAD only use zone to label the junctions? also, why pipe has no Zone information?
2) I...
I get two questions:
1) I have a project that has totally 10,000 pipes, however, my waterCAD can only handle 5000 pipes, how can I do? can I cut the projects into two projects?
2?my waterCAD version 8V XM, can I open a .wcd file which is generated by old version of waterCAD?
thanks.
