Experience With a Water Distribution System Model

by Myron Munson, Jr., City of Santa Cruz Water Dep, United States,
Howard L. Selznick, City of Santa Cruz Water Dep, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Computerized Decision Support Systems for Water Managers

Abstract:

The City of Santa Cruz has a water distribution system covering approximately 30 square miles (78 km²) and serving 75,000 people. The population is expected to be over 100,000 by year 2005. The City, with assistance from Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., has used a computer model to simulate the operation of its distribution system almost continously since 1976. The model is used for such purposes as evaluating the impacts of new development; determining effects of taking certain pipelines out of service; and analyzing changes in system operation, including design of new facilities.
