WS pro better known by users simply as WS PRO is a tool
00:09
for water utility engineers and professionals who
00:12
model and simulate water distribution systems.
00:15
WS pro uses a database system that provides
00:18
a flexible hierarchy for managing model data.
00:22
This allows multiple users whether they are in
00:24
the same team or across teams to access the
00:27
same database and work on one model simultaneously using
00:31
flags and the commit history to track changes.
00:35
It also offers comprehensive database management facilities which allow
00:39
users to organize their work logically and efficiently.
00:43
They can see the overall structure of the database,
00:45
break it down into its objects and view any part of the data itself.
00:50
Administrators who create the database can assign
00:53
varying levels of rights to their users
00:56
by building plans with WS PRO
00:58
users can simulate operations of water distribution systems which includes
01:03
evaluating the performance of a wide range of pipes,
01:06
pumps,
01:07
tanks and valves,
01:09
they can test pump and valve control, flushing
01:13
water quality,
01:14
emergency response,
01:16
leak identification
01:17
and network resilience.
01:20
The criticality of the infrastructure can be analyzed as well
01:23
to improve the safety and quality of the entire system.
01:28
The results of these simulations can be
01:29
replayed within the network views displayed in many
01:32
types of graphs and exported as spreadsheets
01:35
or documents to be shared with stakeholders.

works. WS pro is capable of modeling firef flow availability.
05:17
You can determine the capacity of individual hydrants in a
05:19
network to sustain additional levels of demand for firefighting.
05:23
Using the firef flow availability simulation
05:26
in the model group window,
05:28
expand the Bridgetown firef flow model and
05:30
open the network control and demand diagram.
05:35
Then
05:36
right, click the model and pick new run group.
05:41
Then click OK to accept the default name
05:45
right, click the new run group and select new run
05:49
in the schedule. Hydraulic run dialogue name the new run.
05:53
In this example, it is called normal
05:56
check the box next to experimental.
05:58
Then dragon drop the network from the model group window into the dialogue,
06:04
click save and then run.
06:07
Now you will set up a firef flow availability run
06:11
right. Click the run group, start another new run and name it FF availability.
06:19
Ensure the run is experimental and populate the network control
06:23
and demand diagram areas the same as you did before
06:28
in the run type group box, expand the dropdown and select firef flow
06:32
in the firef flow options.
06:34
Dialogue in the type of simulation group box
06:37
ensure that firef flow availability is enabled.
06:40
Then set the hydrant diameter to 50
06:43
the local loss to three,
06:45
the required fire flow to five
06:47
and the residual nole pressure to 10
06:52
in the enforced group box, make sure firef flow is enabled.
06:56
When fire flow is enabled,
06:57
the run will determine the ability of each hydrant in the network
07:00
to provide the required firef flow
07:02
while retaining the specified residual pressure.
07:05
When pressure is enforced,
07:07
the run will determine the ability of each hydrant in the network
07:09
to retain the specified residual pressure while providing the required fire flow.
07:14
Click ok.
07:17
In the schedule, hydraulic run dialogue, click save and run.
07:22
Expand the run group link tree to find the FF availability,
07:25
run and then click and drag the results to the GEO plan
07:31
in the toolbar. Activate the graph tool and then select any hydrant
07:37
in the dialogue graph for FFA flow and then click OK to open
07:42
the graph which shows the FFA flow maintained at five liters per second.
07:47
Looking at hydrant results one by one can be time consuming.
07:50
So you do have the option of looking at how they all performed in a grid
07:55
in the toolbar, expand the grid's windows drop down and select node results.
08:01
This opens a grid that displays the FF availability for all hydrants in the network,
08:05
including values for FFA flow
08:08
head
08:09
and pressure.
08:11
Essentially,
08:12
it shows what is happening across the network if you
08:14
force five liters per second from every node simultaneously.
