1.8 Workshop summary
Open Epanet software
Draw the tanks, reservoirs and nodes following the layout presented in
section 1.1
Link the nodes, tanks and reservoirs using pipes
Introduce the properties of pipes using the values from the
”Table 1.2.1: Pipe parameters”
Introduce the properties of tanks and a reservoir using values from
”Table 1.3.1: Reservoir Total Head”
and
”Table 1.3.2: Node parameters”
.
Introduce the properties of junctions (demand nodes) using values from the
”Table 1.4.1: Demand nodes (Junctions) property values”
.
Execute the model for steady state results.
Create a demand pattern using the values from the
”Table 1.5.1: Pipe Demand pattern”
.
Assign the corresponding demand pattern for each node
