Water Distribution Modelling 1

[dalepuskas]

Does anyone know of any references, preferably electronic that can show calcs for water distribution modelling?

I have a site where I know the FireFlow requirement, and I know the flow from a hydrant adjacent to the site, and I know the flow from a hydrant at the opposite side of the site, I want to know how much of an increase in flow if I loop the two.

Thanks

There are probably many references/tools available (one I am aware of is viewable at

http://www.haestad.com/library/books/awdm/online/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm).

Thanks, I found that after I posted, it's a really good resource.

Try Epanet. It is free to download. It has the same engine as some very expensive commercial products that are recommended in this forum.
