Because emergencies can impact the flow of water, it is critical for water utilities to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities and create more resilient systems. The objective is to minimize the impact of emergencies on public health.

Utilities are using hydraulic modeling to do just that. It shows a clear and actionable impact scenario for unexpected water events that everyone can understand. This type of detailed and integrated modeling gives response teams better and more complete information.

Hydraulic modeling can also be useful as a predictor. It’s capable of revealing problem points to engineers before they turn into failures and delivers a full representation of water systems, showcasing where issues might reside. Full simulations show how systems react to specific stresses, giving engineers clarity on everything from maintenance needs to disaster responses.

This eBook explores specific use cases where a calibrated real-time hydraulic model can be most effective. Download it today to gain a deeper understanding of how this kind of modeling can predict and reduce the impact of shutdowns and catastrophic events.
