Capability

Water Distribution

Develop dynamic water distribution networks

Perform hydraulic and water quality modelling, gain control of pumps and valves, and reduce leakage. Plan network sectioning, analyse fire flows and trace multiple sources.

Plan, manage and optimise your water distribution network

From demand water allocation to water quality and control options, you can count on MIKE+ for all your water distribution decision-making.

Use simulations to solve distribution issues

Identify and manage specific challenges by performing steady state, extended period and water quality simulations with the EPANET module which now supports both EPANET 2.0 and EPANET 2.2.

Optimising resource demand allocation is easy with EPANET because you can:

Monitor and manage junction node demands
Import geocoded and aggregated consumption data
Compute multiple water demands for each node in your network
Define your own demand categories with different patterns

Ensure the best water quality possible by:

Modelling blended water from different sources
Analysing water age
Locating chlorine residuals
Understanding the growth of disinfection by-products
Visualising contaminant propagation

Assess your distribution network with advanced analyses

Evaluate the performance and efficiency of every aspect of your water distribution network using the Special Analyses module.

With this module, you can:

Apply control options for extended period simulations, including PID control
Simulate system shutdown, maintenance and intermittent water supply systems via pressure-dependent demands
Ensure fire flow requirements are met by calculating flow and residual pressure
Perform multi-source tracing analyses to assess contamination issues, supply zones and various water source blends
Perform flushing analysis for system maintenance

Prevent surges and secure operations

Spotting potential water hammer problems in your pressurised distribution system isn’t easy. But with MIKE+’s new transient hydraulics modelling feature, Water Hammer, you can reveal operations issues and take control of all your critical infrastructure.

Minimise the pressure and power stresses related:

Pump start-up, controlled shutdown and pump trip-off
Valve opening and closure
Rapid demand change and rapid pressure change
Surge protection devices

Describe water quality using a new
Multi-Species Extension (MSX)

Model any system of multiple, interacting chemical species with the multi-species analysis which describes a water quality extension.

Simulate these water quality processes using the MSX extension:

Chloramine decomposition
Bacterial regrowth with chlorine inhibition
Arsenite arsenate adsorption desorption

Improve accuracy using the new, fully optimised Water Distribution Autocalibration module

Take advantage of a new special analysis Water Distribution Autocalibration module designed to optimise your main model parameters for automatic calibration against measured data.

Rely on evolutionary algorithms to find the best settings for pipe friction coefficients, locate closed isolating valves within the water distribution network, adjust water consumptions, and find point leakages.
Achieve a better match between observed data and simulated model results by using its streamlined autocalibration process.

The integrated water modelling platform

Powerful alone. Better together.

MIKE+ offers a full suite of integrated software solutions for water systems with a flexible and scalable model manager layer at its core. The MIKE+ platform allows you to plug and play with different modules to customise water management solutions. They’re powerful alone – but even better when used together.

Plus, some modules are transversal, so you can use them across your collection systems, rivers and flooding challenges. That’s the power of an integrated water modelling platform.
