MWH Soft releases V2 generation of InfoWater UDF

Colorado, USA, 05 April 2007: MWH Soft, a global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced the release of Generation V2 of InfoWater UDF, the industry's geocentric solution for unidirectional flushing of drinking water distribution systems. The latest release features a host of new and unique capabilities to help water utilities better manage the systematic flushing of their water distribution systems to remove stagnant water along with mineral and sediment deposits that accumulate over time restoring hydraulic capacity and improving water quality.

Built atop ArcGIS 9.2, InfoWater UDF V2 integrates advanced dynamic water network modeling with the latest generation of ESRI GIS technology. The groundbreaking application capitalizes on the intelligence and versatility of the GIS geodatabase architecture to help water utilities develop flushing sequences for each flushing zone, quickly identify which fire hydrants and water main valves should be manipulated for proper cleaning without excessive pressure drops, and maintain the desired level of hydraulic performance in the system.

The program considers the temporal variation in flow velocity magnitude and direction due to changes in demands, tank levels and operating conditions. It also computes minimum flushing time, total flushing volume and pipe length, flushing velocity of every pipe in the sequence, and available fire flow at the minimum residual pressure. The hydraulic impact of each flushing sequence is also monitored to ensure that the desired minimum pressure is maintained throughout the system.
