WHAT IS EPANET ? EPANET performs extended period simulation of hydraulic and water quality behavior within water distribution system pipe networks. A network consists of pipes, nodes (pipe junctions), pumps, valves and storage tanks or reservoirs. EPANET tracks the flow of water in each pipe, the pressure at each node, the height of water in each tank, and the concentration of a chemical species throughout the network during a simulation period comprised of multiple time steps. In addition to chemical species, water age and source tracing can also be simulated
HISTORY OF EPANET EPANET was developed by Lewis A. Rossman (retired March 2014) working for U.S. EPA in the early 1990’s First non-beta release of EPANET was in 2000, version 2.00.00 U.S. EPA’s last release of version 2.00 was in 2008 with 2.00.12 Maintenance and advancement of EPANET is now through community collaboration at https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET
PROJECT OVERVIEW The Goal Is To Design, Install, And Maintain An Irrigation System That Keeps Parks Lush And Green While Minimizing Water Waste And Operational Costs
COMPONENTS OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM Pipes, Pumps Valves Sprinklers Tanks
JUNCTIONS Junctions are points in the network where links join together and where water enters or leaves the network.. The basic input data required for junctions are: elevation water demand initial water quality. The output results computed for junctions are hydraulic head pressure water quality.
TANKS Tanks are nodes with storage capacity, where the volume of stored water can vary with time during a simulation Tanks are required to operate within their minimum and maximum levels.
PIPES Pipes convey water from one point in the network to another. EPANET assumes that all pipes are full at all times. Flow direction is from the end at higher hydraulic head (internal energy per weight of water) to that at lower head.
PUMPS Pumps are devices that impart energy to a fluid thereby raising its hydraulic head. The principal input parameter for a pump is its pump curve (the combination of heads and flows that the pump can produce). The principal output parameters are flow and head gain.
VALVES Valves are used to control the pressure or flow at a specific point in the network. The different types of valves include: PSV (Pressure Sustaining Valve) PBV (Pressure Breaker Valve) FCV (Flow Control Valve) TCV (Throttle Control Valve) GPV (General Purpose Valve)

PROJECT STATUS
STATUS REPORT EPANET writes all error and warning messages generated during an analysis to a Status Report .
ENERGY REPORT EPANET can generate an Energy Report that displays statistics about the energy consumed by each pump and the cost of this energy usage over the duration of a simulation.
