Our development teams have been hard at work bringing new updates to InfoWater Pro this year. In the 2024.2 release, we rolled out fire flow simulations in the cloud, increasing speed and allowing modelers to save their local machines from intensive simulations. Notably, the Denver Water team said their fire flow“simulation times went from over 1.5 hours to…

As engineers, we understand the need for simple modeling interfaces that work as efficiently and autonomously as possible. Our ability to access and leverage GIS data and platforms is a critical component of the model creation process as well as our results analysis. So, as we make our way through the plan, design, build, operate,…

Happy Spring, everyone. You know what they say: April showers bring May Water Drops! It’s certainly true where I live in Denver, Colorado. Earlier this month, we had 1/3 of our annual rainfall occur in just 72 hours. Streets, roads, and (unfortunately) my basement were flooded. It was a prescient reminder of why hydraulic modelers…
