Abstract
A GIS-Based Water Distribution Model for Salt Lake City, UtahTrack: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Rakesh Bahadur, William B. Samuels, Jonathan Pickus, David Amstutz
This paper describes a project to integrate EPANET and ArcView to assist emergency managers in assessing the risks to public water supplies. The integrated system calculates, locates, and maps the population at risk from the introduction of contaminants to the public water supply. The EPANET toolkit allowed ArcView to utilize the EPANET engine to route a contaminant through the system under extended period simulation. The results of the simulation are viewed within ArcView, along with additional coverages representing population and infrastructure. This system was tested using the Salt Lake City database composed of approximately 31,000 links and 52 pressure zones.
