WaterGems Basics: Water Distr. Analysis and Design Software

Learn to prepare water network data from AutoCAD and Excel, including tanks, pipes, junctions, pumps, and reservoirs with attributes like length, diameter, material, demand, elevation, and head.

Practice an excel workflow to compute water demand, population density, and storage. Then prepare WaterGems inputs with junction elevations, pipe lengths, diameters, and fittings.

Prepare an AutoCAD map for Water Gems with a situation plot; export the network as a DXF background layer and create a schematic map with fittings and gate valves.

Open WaterGEMS, create a new hydraulic model, set SI units, import CAD backgrounds, place junctions and pipes, and connect reservoirs and pumps to build a water distribution network.

Learn to draw junctions first, then pipes in WaterGems, using a consistent order from AutoCAD and Excel data, and adjust junction symbol size and text height.

Model a water distribution extension in WaterGems using flex tables to define pipe and junction properties, add reservoirs, choose steady state or EPs analysis, and verify pressures.

Export flex tables from WaterGEMS to Excel or CSV and copy the data into Excel, organizing junctions and pipes in a WaterGEMS report.

Learn to assign junction elevations, run a pressure analysis across a 14-node water distribution network, and generate statistics with filters, sorts, and color coding.

Design a sustainable water distribution network for a new housing development in Bernolakovo using WaterGems, focusing on hydraulic modeling, pipelines, nodes, and two supply points.
