Abstract:
Hydraulic transients in a water distribution system are unique, arising from frequent operational adjustments like pump startups, shutdowns, and valve operations, which respond to the system's constantly changing demands. This presentation will provide an overview of a standard procedure for creating a well-represented transient simulation model using InfoWater Pro, while also addressing common pitfalls to avoid. Surge protection strategies will be assessed for both existing and new water distribution systems, with each type of surge protection device reviewed in terms of its applicability.
