What you'll learn
Create a water distribution network model with junctions, pipes, reservoirs, tanks, pumps, and valves.
Assign demands, elevation data, and demand patterns to simulate real-world water usage.
Run extended period simulations to evaluate system performance over time.
Define and apply pump curves and valve settings to control system hydraulics.
Implement simple and rule-based controls to automate network operations under varying conditions.
Analyze pressures, flows, velocities, and tank levels throughout the network.
Perform water quality simulations including constituent transport, source tracing, and reaction modeling.
Calibrate and troubleshoot models using observed data to improve accuracy and reliability.
Requirements
This course is designed for individuals with a basic understanding of water resrouces engineering. Prior experience with hydraulics and water modeling software would be helpful, but not necessary. No prior experience with EPANET is necessary. We'll start with the fundamentals and build from there.
Description
** All videos are downloadable **
Learn how to model water distribution systems using EPANET, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's widely used software for simulating hydraulic and water quality behavior in pressurized pipe networks. Whether you're completely new to distribution system modeling or looking to sharpen your existing skills, this course provides a step-by-step approach to building, analyzing, and understanding models that represent real-world infrastructure. You'll begin with the fundamentals, including how to define junctions, reservoirs, tanks, pipes, pumps, and valves, assign demands and patterns, and run extended period simulations.
As you progress, you'll explore more advanced capabilities such as pump curves, valve controls, rule-based operations, and system calibration techniques. You'll learn how to apply demand patterns, interpret system pressures and flows, and evaluate model results under varying operational conditions. The course also introduces water quality modeling, including constituent transport, source tracing, and reaction kinetics, helping you understand and analyze chemical concentrations throughout a network. Exercise videos reinforce each concept, giving you hands-on practice building and modifying models from the ground up.
Throughout the course, you'll gain experience using EPANET's interface to visualize network layouts, review time series results, and troubleshoot common modeling issues. Each lesson and exercise video is practical, focused, and aligned with tasks encountered in consulting, municipal water management, and engineering analysis. No prior experience with EPANET is required, though a basic understanding of pressurized water systems and water resources engineering will be helpful.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to independently build, run, and refine EPANET models, evaluate system performance, and apply your skills to real-world water distribution challenges, including system design, operations planning, and infrastructure assessment.
Who this course is for
This course is ideal for beginners new to water systems modeling, professionals looking to expand their skills in EPANET, and experienced users seeking a practical refresher on both basic and advanced topics.
