The evolution of geographical information systems has led to the availability of comprehensive data sets, including land use, water meter locations, and demand area polygons. These data, when properly processed, can be effectively used to create system demands throughout a hydraulic network model.
To add the meter sales data necessary for the allocation:
A data set should always be cloned so that all the BASE data is contained in it, and then changes can be made from there. To make a clone of the BASE demand set:
Back in the Demand Allocation Manager, set up the allocation:
Note: Because the meters are using the same units as the model in this tutorial—gallons per minute—you do not need to scale your demands.
