Navigating the InfoWater Pro model view

00:03

In an info Water Pro project.

00:05

The main window panel contains your network map,

00:08

a visual representation of the components that

00:11

make up your water distribution system model.

00:14

In addition,

00:15

it can show other layers such as shape files and base maps that may have been added.

00:21

The map is made up of components of a water distribution system.

00:25

Each component is represented in the model

00:27

by different identifying symbols or lines and

00:30

colors such as whether a component is active or inactive in your map.

00:36

You can also see the applicable symbols and colors in the contents panel.

00:41

There are several component types that can be used in a model.

00:45

Junctions represent locations where links intersect and

00:48

where demands are taken from the system.

00:51

Tanks represent locations of system storage,

00:54

both above the surface and underground

00:58

reservoirs are an inexhaustible supply of water.

01:01

They can be used to model treatment plants,

01:03

wells or an inter tie among other things.

01:08

Pipes convey flow from one node to another

01:13

pumps,

01:14

add energy to the system for the purpose of

01:16

filling tanks or adding head downstream of the pump

01:20

and valves, control flow and pressure.

01:24

The network map is the first critical element when working in an Info Water

01:28

Pro project because it is where you add feature attributes as components to your map

01:34

only.

01:35

Then can you use the Info Water Pro tools and settings to modify modeling parameters

01:40

and then analyze the model solution results and scenarios.
