Water Distribution Modeling and Management
WaterCAD® is an easy-to-use hydraulic and water quality modeling solution for water distribution systems. Utilities, municipalities and engineering firms trust WaterCAD as a reliable, resource-saving, decision-support tool for their water infrastructure. From fire flow and constituent concentration analyses, to energyconsumption and capital cost management, WaterCAD helps engineers and utilities analyze, design, and optimize water distribution systems.

Model in stand-alone, or within your favorite CAD platform
Stand-alone, MicroStation, and AutoCAD platforms for total freedom and versatility

Out of the box, WaterCAD users can work within stand-alone and MicroStation® platforms, with available AutoCADinegration to model within their favorite CAD environment. Regardless of the platform used, WaterCAD maintains a single set of modeling files for true interoperability across platforms. The stand-alone interface offers unparalleled versatility with easy-to-use model layout tools, multiple background support, conversion utilities from CAD, GIS, and databases, and unlimited undo and redo layout. TheMicroStation interface, included at no additional cost with all WaterCAD versions, provides a geospatial and engineering design environment with unrivaled visualization and publishing tools. AutoCAD users can also add AutoCAD integration features to build and lay out models with engineering precision within an environment they are already comfortable with.

Streamlined model building
Use thebuilt-in manual calibration or leverage the available Darwin Calibrator module

The LoadBuilder™ and TRex™ geospatial modules—included with WaterCAD at no additional cost—help engineers allocate water demands and node elevations based on geospatial data found in shapefiles, DEMs, and even CAD drawings, avoiding potential manual-input mistakes and speeding up the model building process. WaterCAD userscan also use CAD drawings to directly create hydraulically connected models; import topology and data from GIS; and create persistent, bidirectional connections between shapefiles, databases, spreadsheets and the WaterCAD model.

Water quality modeling
The built-in water quality features help WaterCAD users perform constituent, water age, tank mixing, and source trace analysis to developcomprehensive chlorination schedules, simulate emergency contamination events, visualize zones of influence for different water sources, and improve turbidity, taste, and odor by identifying water blending problems in the system.

Fire flow analysis
Visualize and grasp the meaning of your modeling results easily

Using the Fire Flow Navigator, WaterCAD users can quickly and accurately establish theability of their network to provide protection against fires. WaterCAD simultaneously models multiple fire flow events evaluating flows and pressures across the entire system.

Criticality analysis and operations modeling
The Criticality Analysis Center is a comprehensive utility to identify critical assets in water distribution infrastructure, and evaluate the risk associated with theirfailure. Also, by using rule-based operational controls, variable-speed pumping (VSP), and pressure-dependent demands (PDD), engineers can find operational bottlenecks, minimize energy consumption, and model real-time operations to improve system performance.

Comprehensive scenario management
WaterCAD Scenario Management Center gives engineers full control to configure, run, evaluate, visualize, andcompare an unlimited number of what-if scenarios within a single file. Engineers can easily make decisions by comparing unlimited scenarios, analyzing rehabilitation alternatives for multiple planning horizons, evaluating pump operation strategies, or flushing alternatives for emergency contamination events.
