Working with demand area definitions

WS pro demand area analysis provides data that allows users to review

00:09

the current demand for water and project future potential demand areas.

00:14

After generating demand areas from area codes with the demand area grid open,

00:19

you can define boundary conditions for the demand area

00:22

from the grid right click demand area 35

00:25

and from the shortcut menu select properties.

00:29

The property's dialogue for the specific demand area displays

00:33

open the definition tab

00:36

from the boundary conditions group.

00:38

You can define which objects are to act as boundaries to the demand area.

00:42

The seed node is a node within the polygon or assigned area code.

00:47

A trace is carried out starting from the seed

00:50

node and continuing until each branch of the trace reaches

00:53

either one of the boundary conditions selected in the

00:55

boundary condition grid or the limits of the network.

01:00

The resultant selection of nodes and links defines the demand area

01:05

from this tab. You can also select and find various objects in the GEO plan.

01:10

These objects include seed nodes bounding links the A Z and P node

01:15

transfer nodes and the demand area itself

01:19

being able to apply boundary conditions and review current boundary

01:23

conditions is key to understanding your demand area data.
