Water Distribution & Quality
Pressurised networks behave nothing like open channels, and they have their own toolchain. This category indexes EPANET and the ecosystem around it — Python and MATLAB wrappers, resilience toolkits, optimisation layers — plus transient (water hammer) solvers, pump and valve utilities, and water-quality simulation in distribution systems. Most of the serious tooling here is open source and scriptable, which makes network analysis one of the most automatable corners of water engineering.
