The Demand Allocator in InfoWater Pro allows for seven distinct allocation methodologies to be used for the allocation process. The closest pipe method works with billing meter data. For each of the meters, the closest pipe is first located with advanced search algorithms. The meter demands are then assigned to either the closest upstream or downstream nodes for each of the selected pipes.
To add the meter sales data necessary for the allocation:
To set up the allocation in the Demand Allocation Manager:
Note: These calculations can take a longer time to assign the demands to junctions due to the meter assign option; however, it is more accurate than the Closest Junction method.
