Analysis of the Application of EPANET Model in Water Supply Networks
EPANET,as a widely used software for hydraulic and water quality simulation,is mainly applied in the design,analysis,and optimization of water supply networks. This paper introduces the development history of EPANET and its applications in water supply networks,including leakage detection,optimal design of network layout,and simulation of water quality safety. Combined with practical cases,the advantages of EPANET in improving the operational efficiency of water supply networks,conserving resources,and reducing water supply costs are illustrated. Finally,the application prospects of EPANET are discussed,and it is believed that the future development of the EPANET model still needs to be combined with modern technologies such as IoT devices and machine learning algorithms to further enhance its application effectiveness.
