A group of researchers from Coimbra (Portugal) has developed a new
free EPANET based computer application for modelling and design of
water distribution networks - http://www.dec.uc.pt/~waternetgen/
WaterNetGen is an extension of the EPANET 2.0 software (Rossman 2000)
that preserves the user interface and allows the generation of
synthetic water distribution network models (Muranho et al. 2012) and
its sizing based on simple heuristics (Muranho et al. 2011). It also
allows to perform least cost design, by using a Simulated Annealing
algorithm, and pressure-driven analysis, a better suited approach to
model pressure dependent consumption and leakage.

Thank you Joaquim, this looks very interesting.

Dear Joaquim
Is there any chance of a simple "tutorial" (like the tutorial in Epanet itself) for the use of WaterNetGen. I would really like to use it but am at a bit of a loss with the existing version of the manual.
Best Regards,
