The Advantages of a Calibrated Water Model  During (and Before) a Water Main Break Dan Barr, PE Burgess & Niple, Inc.
What Are the Advantages? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Determining the Impact of a Leak  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Determining the Impact of a Leak  (cont.)   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Determining the Impact of an  Out-of-Service Main  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],After the main is isolated and the leakage stopped, the model can predict the system’s performance when the main is out of service.
Deciphering Abnormal Results from the Incident  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],When the model results do not align with the field results, use the model to:
Optimizing the System Before a Break ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
