Be a super model.  How can modeling be beneficial for a utility? A computer model of a water, wastewater, or stormwater system is a valuable tool that can assist the user in analyzing hydraulic performance over a wide range of operational scenarios. Using hydraulic modeling, problems can be anticipated in proposed or existing systems and solutions can be evaluated before time, money, and materials are invested in a real-world project. Applications for modeling include, but are not limited to, master planning, operator training, facility sizing, emergency response, real-time SCADA simulations, or system expansion and improvements.
