IMS Annual Conference 2019

A hydraulic model of is a powerful tool to see what is going on in your water system and help you make informed decisions that make you look smart. Whether your system is large or small, using a model to understand flows, velocities, pressures, water quality, and energy use should be accessible and simple. We will discuss practical applications of hydraulic modeling, including checking pressure swings, available fire flow, and chlorine residual. We will review specific examples where hydraulic modeling has helped water systems make good decisions such as:
• Sandy City fluoride overfeed event
• City of Ketchum pipe breaks in the Spring Line System
• Riverton City low chlorine residual
• Midvale City main pipeline shutdown
