Abstract
 Integrating the ArcGIS Water Distribution Data Model into PipelineNet Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Jonathan Pickus, Rakesh Bahadur, William Samuels A new version of PipelineNet has been developed that integrates the EPANET hydraulic model and ArcGIS. This new version also incorporates the ArcGIS water distribution data model to represent both the GIS pipe network and associated infrastructure. The data model has been extended to include hydraulic modeling input parameters (e.g., pump controls, water demands) so that a complete EPANET input file can be constructed from the data model components. The integrated system calculates, locates, and maps the population and critical customers at risk from the introduction of contaminants to the public water supply. PipelineNet simulates the flow and concentration of biological or chemical contaminants in a city or municipality's water distribution system from single and multiple sources, simulates water tracing and ageing, aids in the location of monitoring sites, provides tools for regulatory compliance and helps to evaluate contamination mitigation alternatives (e.g., system isolation or flushing).
