Abstract

Operation of present-day water supply networks and management of hydraulic models of pipeline networks are labour intensive and ambiguous tasks requiring a sophisticated approach. Operation of water supply networks servicing major Russian cities is accompanied by processing of extensive amounts of information; moreover, some elements of the water supply infrastructure are hidden under the ground. Nowadays operators of water supply networks take advantage of the advanced software used to solve a wide range of tasks associated with data filing, overall evaluation, analysis and optimization of the most important parameters of urban water supply networks. The above software is an essential tool in the management of water networks in major cities. Their ability to collect and process all data on water supply networks and to conduct some research aimed at the improvement of various parameters of the system, including optimization of hydraulic characteristics of the pipeline is employed by researchers and water pipeline operators.The authors analyze and compare CAD software systems designated for water supply networks servicing big cities, capable of resolving multi-component problems and ensuring the reliability of water supply systems.
