Developing cost-effective operational strategies and optimum design and rehabilitation studies requires not only robust hydraulics, but also reliable cost assessment utilities.
Automated design and rehabilitation: Use the included* Darwin Designer module to automatically find maximum-benefit, minimum-cost designs and rehabilitation strategies, all within an easy-to-use interface.
- Enter pipe unit cost tables
- Enter pressure and flow constraints
- Specify goal: minimize cost, maximize benefit, or both
Capital Cost Manager: Build unit cost functions and tables that link with your element attributes, including and project contingency adjustment factors.
Energy Cost Manager: There is an enormous opportunity to save money on system-wide energy costs using WaterGEMS to identify the most energy-efficient pump scheduling strategy.
