OpenFlows WaterGEMS’ Darwin Calibrator for Leakage Detection

Watch this video to see Darwin Calibrator’s automatic leak detection in action.
The leaks in water network systems are a growing concern for the water industry. Without a calibration tool, leakage detection involves a series of steps that need to be performed to identify where leaks are located. In WaterGEMS, you can use the Darwin Calibrator tool to perform a leakage detection study. Darwin Calibrator can perform an optimized run to detect possible leakage automatically. It adjusts emitter coefficient (a pressure-dependent demand) at nodes in order to get the model to match the field data. See it in action in this video.

How did you create the flowrate vs time graph at the beginning?

To create one graph and to include the field measurements, the users can go to the Graphs function in the View tab, click over the new button, select one of the graph styles, and select the parameter to plot (like the flow in this case). Within the graph, under the "Series Options" button, the users can find the option "Observed Data". This is the one they can use to include measurements from the field to compare with the model results.
