Innovyze가 환경보호 협회의 플래그쉽인 EPANET과 SWMM 공공 도메인 소프트웨어에 대한 전 세계적인 지원을 최근 발표했다. EPANET과 SWMM 커뮤니티에 기술적 전문지식을 제공함으로써 Innovyze는 지속가능한 우수·폐수, 물 공급 시스템에 대한 무료 소프트웨어 모델을 유지할 수 있게 됐다.

지속가능한 물 인프라 모델은 전 세계적으로 우수·폐수·식수 유통관리에 대한 계획, 분석, 설계, 연구에 사용된다.

 

 

 

Innovyze, a global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, recently announced worldwide support for the Environmental Protection Agency's flagship EPANET and SWMM public-domain software. By offering its technical expertise to the EPANET and SWMM communities, Innovyze is ensuring ongoing maintenance of these free software models of sustainable stormwater, wastewater and water supply systems.

 

Sustainable water infrastructure models are used throughout the world for the planning, analysis, design, and research of stormwater, wastewater and drinking water distribution management. EPANET can help water utilities maintain and improve the quality of water delivered to consumers through their drinking water distribution systems; and SWMM can model the generation and transport of runoff and sanitary flows as well as estimate the production of pollutant loads associated with this runoff in storm, sanitary or combined sewers.

 

EPANET can also be used to plan and improve a system's hydraulic performance. The model can assist with pipe, pump and valve placement; sizing; energy minimization; fire flow analysis; vulnerability studies; and operator training. Together, these models give municipalities the tools to help them develop cost-effective grey and green infrastructure options that reduce the release of untreated wastewater and improve the availability of safe drinking water.

 

As for SWMM, with the recent inclusion of hydrologic performance of specific types of green infrastructure low impact development (LID) controls, the model can be used to consider both grey infrastructure approaches (e.g., pipes, tunnels, high-rate treatment) and potentially more cost-effective green infrastructure approaches (e.g., rain gardens, permeable pavement, rain barrels) for managing stormwater.
