Water Quality Analysis
The following Water Quality Analysis parameters are available for user configuration:
- Age Tolerance—If the difference between two parcels of water is equal to or less than the value specified in this field, the parcels are considered to be of equal age.
- Constituent Tolerance—If the difference between two parcels of water is equal to or less than the value specified in this field, the parcels are considered to possess an equal concentration of the associated constituent.
- Trace Tolerance—If the difference between two parcels of water is equal to or less than the value specified in this field, the parcels are considered to be within the same percentile.
- Set Quality Time Step—Check this box if you want to manually set the water quality time step. By default, this box is not checked and the water quality time step is computed internally by the numerical engine.
- Quality Time Step—Time interval used to track water quality changes throughout the network. By default, this value is computed by the numerical engine and is equivalent to the smallest travel time through any pipe in the system.
Note: If you run a Water Quality Analysis, you can generate graphs of the elements in the results by right-clicking an element and selecting Graph.
