Notes:
Network analysis has been practised in the water industry for many years, both in the UK and US, especially for capital investment planning and operational strategies. Driven now by the need to improve and maintain customer service levels, the management of water distribution is beginning to rely more on network analysis techniques. The combination of large, detailed models and easy-to-use software is moving network analysis into new areas of benefits in Severn Trent Water using the Stoner workstation service. By providing a simple, geographic interface with the user, the use of network simulation facilities has been increased tenfold in the company. In addition to the hydraulic benefits, Severn Trent Water has followed a lead from the US with water quality modelling, including nitrate blending, source water mixing and chlorine residual analysis.
