Advanced hydraulic modeling is an indispensable support and prerequisite for system management at various operational horizons. It overcomes the limitations of traditional models based on the modeling coding of EPANET and the last century.

The data format in WDNetGIS-XL allows complete interoperability between the platform running in Microsoft Excel and the one in GIS as the data tables are the same georeferenced in GIS with the ESRI system.

Digital Water Services

Digital Water ideas will change the future management of water distribution networks. 
The digital model of the system is the twin of the real system because the topological and hydraulic features of advanced hydraulic modelling allow reproducing the actual behavior of water supply networks and the integration with the GIS allows georeferencing any hydraulic system component.
Therefore, the digital twin is the basis of digital services.

We are developing Digital Water plugins using WDNetXL features.

WDNetGIS exploits GIS interface that allows great flexibility to users working on the analysis, design and management of water networks. WDNetGIS, is fully integrated with WDNetXL, can import data from standard * .inp EPANET files, generable by all commercial software. It is equipped with a 3D viewer with data query function, and integrates completely with WDNetXL by means of shapefiles.

Modern management of water distribution networks requires increasingly reliable and sustainable solutions aimed at adequately targeting investments, while providing efficient services to consumers.

WDNetGIS software integrates robust and advanced hydraulic simulations with topological analysis (WDNetXL), allowing the management, visualization, modification and analysis of data (GIS).

WDNetGIS exploits GIS interface that allows great flexibility to users working on the analysis, design and management of water networks without additional training in the use of data management environment (GIS). Therefore, it enables focusing on the technical-hydraulic aspect right away. WDNetGIS, like WDNetXL, can import data from standard * .inp EPANET files, generable by all commercial software. It is equipped with a 3D viewer with data query function, and integrates completely with WDNetXL by means of shapefiles.

The WDNetXL is an integrated system for water distribution network (WDN) analysis, planning and management distributed as MS-Excel® add-ins. It integrates advanced and robust WDN hydraulic simulation with topological analysis and optimization strategies to support technicians for complex WDN analysis, design and management problems. The WDNetXL system permits to realize just-in-time technology transfer from technical research to WDN management sector through a holistic platform, which is ready for possible extensions to the latest innovations, thus providing an upgradable support to match current and future technical needs.

The WDNetXL system permits to realize just-in-time technology transfer from technical research to WDN management sector through a holistic platform, which is ready for possible extensions to the latest innovations, thus providing an upgradable support to match current and future technical needs. This also provides a practical tool for training of engineers ranging from university classes to continuing education at water companies. Its versatility also makes the system dynamic to implement customized solutions through a virtuous cycle between users, researchers and developers.

The WDNetXL system is open source meaning that, although the dlls are binary files, it is possible to use them beyond the templates provided in the original package and link them to GIS or other systems by means of standard programming languages connecting MS-Excel to external applications.

One key ingredient is the hydraulic simulation, which is pretty advanced, and if compared to EPANET2 in terms of robustness, hydraulic consistency and flexibility in analyzing many WDN elements like components of water demand, leakages, control devices, etc.
