Drinking water systems face multiple challenges, including aging infrastructure, water quality concerns, uncertainty in supply and demand, natural disasters, environmental emergencies, and cyber and terrorist attacks. All of these have the potential to disrupt a large portion of a water system causing damage to infrastructure and outages to customers. Increasing resilience to these types of hazards is essential to improving water security. As one of the United States (US) sixteen critical infrastructure sectors, drinking water is a national priority. The Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR) is a Python package designed to simulate and analyze resilience of water distribution networks. WNTR has an application programming interface (API) that is flexible and allows for changes to the network structure and operations, along with simulation of disruptive incidents and recovery actions.
I have IMACS with OS 10. I have an MX860. I had a router and everything was working fine through comcast cable modem. Them we got combined comcast TV, phone, and cable modem. So that service came with wireless so I am trying to change the settings to their router. I came to a step that says select the Canon IJ Network Tool and select LAN connection. Where is the Canon IJ Network Tool?
I am expereincing the same issue but on a HP Laptop - have changed modems and now the printer won't work - tried to find out how to reset it but got stuck when it told me to start selecting things from the IJ Network Tool menu...where do I find the IJ network Tool???
This is just information copied and pasted from the online documentation. The problem is -- it's wrong -- at least for the Pixma Pro-100. IJ Network Tool isn't installed with the rest of the software on Windows 10 and it isn't available at any of the locations the documentation I've found thus far says it is. That's why the OP asked the question and it's what I wonder too.
The setup screens did not display well. The action button, next, back, accept, etc are cut off at the bottom. If you also have this issue you will have to tab 1,2, or 3 times to hit enter and proceed. Trial and error here but you will get thru it eventually.
I am having a similar issue. All the UN tools show when I run the code in Python but none of the untools show in the user interface and I don't see the toolbox. I see a box called Utility Network Tools but the Stage Utility Network tool is not in it. Am I looking in the wrong place?:
I fixed this eventually. I switched from a virtual machine to installing ArcPro 3.1.1 on my own machine, deleted non-working Python cloned environments, creating a new cloned environment (all while running as administrator). Shut down, restarted, added untools. Restarted again and the tools were available in the interface.
Natural disasters such as floods, drought, hurricanes, winter storms, and earthquakes can interrupt access to clean drinking water. To improve their resilience, communities, and the utilities that provide drinking water to these communities, are building their capacity to return to service as quickly as possible, planning for and understanding any potential vulnerabilities in their system, and practicing response to adverse events in real-time as they happen.
EPA researchers have already applied this tool to a number of scenarios requested by state and local utilities to assist them in both preparing for future disasters and in the recovery of past events. In 2017, EPA began working with Poughkeepsie Water Treatment Facility to investigate the resilience of their drinking water system. This treatment facility supplies water to both the City and Town of Poughkeepsie, NY. The facility asked the researchers to assess a scenario involving the loss of the source water to the treatment plant that could be caused by a variety of incidents, such as frozen intake pipes, due to a winter storm event, a drought, or a saltwater intrusion event. The water utility managers were interested in evaluating how long they could continue to supply water to their customers, and the effectiveness of strategies, such as reducing usage, at extending the timeframe in which water would continue to be available to customers.
The researchers worked with the water treatment facility to analyze a scenario investigating breaks in critical distribution pipes and how it would affect firefighting capability. WNTR can assist with this analysis because it includes a feature that simulates the movement of water under low pressure conditions as it travels from the utility to businesses and residences throughout the system. This analysis was shared with the City and Town of Poughkeepsie which will use these results to plan the costs of system upgrades that would enhance resilience over the long-term.
That same year, the active hurricane season in the Atlantic brought two Category-5 hurricanes to the U.S. Virgin Islands within a two-week period. These storms caused significant damage to the critical infrastructure systems providing energy, water, transportation, telecommunications, and healthcare. In response to the devastation, government agencies, communities, and long-term recovery groups in the U.S. Virgin Islands are developing hazard mitigation and resilience plans.
In May 2020, the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) approached EPA staff and researchers to partner in their resilience study of the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA), which supplies drinking water to the St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John islands. The researchers used WNTR to analyze four-week power outage scenarios caused by hurricanes on the WAPA systems. The impact of a power outage on a drinking water system is important to drinking water utilities. WNTR can help determine the effects of a power outage by simulating the removal of pumps and tanks from the system operations and can simulate the impact to customers and help identify where to invest in back up power. NPS brings expertise in electrical power resilience, and with EPA researchers, they are addressing the interdependencies between water and power systems. The results will be used by the utility to develop a hazard mitigation and resilience plan to address future hurricanes.
WNTR is used to estimate potential damage and understand how damage to infrastructure would occur over time. It can also be used to evaluate preparedness strategies, prioritize response actions, and identify worst case scenarios, efficient repair strategies, and best practices for maintenance and operations. Additional community applications of WNTR include the U.S. Army Fort Campbell installation on the Kentucky/Tennessee border and the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) in Pittsburgh, PA.
WNTR is being used to analyze the ability of the Fort Campbell system to provide water for a minimum of 14-days following extended outages as established in the Installation Energy and Water Security Policy (Army Directive 2017-07).
PWSA is interested in applying WNTR to evaluate the resilience of their system of infrastructure failures (e.g., pump stations, 60-inch water mains, clearwell) as well as the potential consequences of landslides. Four case study applications of WNTR will be made available to the utility and the public, with the first two available in the next year focusing on the U.S. Virgin Islands and the City and Town of Poughkeepsie. Researchers are compiling information that can be used by other water utilities across the country to understand how they can employ resilience strategies to mitigate damage to critical infrastructure by disasters.
One of the issues I found is if I add a new item to the tool palette, it is automatically added to the bottom of it even if I move it on the master tool palette and then overwrite the public version...
I heard about the cut and paste technique to reorder the items but I wondered if there was another solution that would be more effective on the long run because the tool palettes are constantly evolving.
That isn't the case because the way I had it set up is that I am the only one with the write access on the master palette. When I want to make an update on the public one, I copy and paste the whole folder in the accessible drive for the office (in read only).
The issue is that it seem that AutoCAD doesn't reset the order of the tools inside the Tool Palette to match the new order that I had set. By exemple if I add a new block in the middle of an existing palette, for the users on the network it appears only at the bottom of theirs.
I tried to rename the palette each time to trick AutoCAD in thinking that the palette is new, but the same problem occurs. For new users that never installed the palette before, the order is okay when they first install it. And on further updates the same problem occurs... It seems like there is a part of the palettes that is stored locally and that is why the old order is kept, but I may be wrong?
I'm going to have to check this out. I do not recall having any issues with the order of the tools on a palette.
It was a few versions back since I last managed a set of palettes, but I don't think anything was changed by Autodesk.
When that person already had the tool palette path. When I update it, it syncs by adding the new button I added to it, but at the bottom. On my computer the button is placed at the right place (just like you tested) but on their computer it shows at the bottom.
The thing is, for years I did this and never had one complaint from a user about the order of the tools. I suppose I never checked a user PC, I just presumed by the lack of complaints, that the order I saw, was sticking for them.
Why? Who knows? I suppose to let each user rearrange as they see fit, but it should recognize that the source folder is read-only and ignore the local settings and for the order, as saved in the tool palette .ATC file.
If you delete or rename this file, (while AutoCAD is not running), then fire up AutoCAD again, the order of the tool palettes will match the last saved configuration stored in the palettes themselves. I suppose you could progamatically edit this file, but note that the names of the buttons are not stored in this file, only the GUID string.
