    Negative pressures and disconnected nodes

    I have so many versions of the model. Attached here is the model of the system without gaps (following your advice)and with the original (existing) pipe sizes. the first model uploaded contains a much larger pipe sizes. Those were the result of my attempts at trying to make the system run. this...

    Negative pressures and disconnected nodes

    I tried your suggestions and it run successfully on single period setting. I tried running it again using 72 hours time period but failed. GAPS: This is the way I was told to model this WDS. They said that the gaps would give pipes with unit headlosses within the allowable limit(10m/km) Tanks...

    It is an existing water system. and the inflow coming from well is a proposed additional source to the system

    Also, there is a water treatment facility next to the tank. Curious on how to correctly model the WTP. should it be as reservoir like what i did in the model? Thnks again, Fred.

    You are right, I have to send this model I am working on to make it clear. Thank you for your response fel3. this would really help my town's water problem.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4d3f46d7-411c-4541-ac25-55ae4e340986&file=WDS.net

    Negative pressures and disconnected nodes

    How to solve negative pressures and disconnected nodes? I,ve read a thread that solves this error by increasing diameter of the tank. Im interested in adding controls to engage more supply. how do you do that in epanet? Thank you for answering.
