Water Security Modeling

Experts agree that one of the best things you can do to prepare for an attack on your water system is to develop and maintain a well-calibrated hydraulic model of your water distribution system. Not only can a model be used to identify vulnerable points in your system prior to an attack, it can also prove to be a critical response tool should disaster occur. WaterCAD® and WaterGEMS® with WaterSAFE™ technology provide a full suite of tools designed specifically for water utilities to help reduce the vulnerability of their systems and to prepare for and respond to terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

Some of the key features of WaterSAFE include:

• Multiple source trace analysis
  WaterSAFE's extended trace analysis capabilities allows for multiple source tracking analysis, determines flow contribution, and generates trace statistics.
• Multiple source concentration analysis
  WaterSAFE provides the tools to conduct and manage any type of constituent analysis, from developing chlorination schedules or simulating mock contamination events.
• Age analysis
  Using the water age analysis simulation in WaterSAFE, users can quickly determine the age of water anywhere in the network. All modelers need is a well-calibrated EPS hydraulic model--no other data is required.
• Dynamic graphing
  Sharing the unparalleled capabilities of Geographer™, WaterSAFE allows modelers to display the results in the most comprehensive way.
