EPANET Insights

What is EPANET?

EPANET is a software application developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for modeling water distribution systems. It is widely used by civil engineers and water resource professionals to simulate the hydraulic and water quality behavior within pressurized pipe networks. EPANET can model various components such as pipes, nodes (junctions, reservoirs, tanks), pumps, valves, and can simulate extended-period simulations tracking water age, chlorine decay, and source tracing.
