About price of water

You can make an estimate for the cost of water in your water supply system, by including a unit price for water transfer through any pipe or control.

Price of Water estimation is carried out in InfoWorks WS Pro. Please refer to the InfoWorks WS Pro help for further details.

Using in a Normal Simulation

The only thing you have to do to include Price of Water calculation in your simulation is to include Price of Water parameters for at least one link. This is done in InfoWorks WS Pro.

Using in a BalanceNet Simulation

To factor the cost of water into a BalanceNet optimisation in IWLive Pro Operator Client it is necessary to perform the following actions in InfoWorks WS Pro:

  • Enable the Show BalanceNet fields in the Options dialog.
  • Enable the Cost management option for one or more pipes.
  • Specify Price of Water (PoW) values in the corresponding fields of the property sheet for these pipes.

Please refer to the InfoWorks WS Pro help for more information.

Editing Data

Unit cost and category can only be edited in InfoWorks WS Pro.

Results

Additional results fields will be displayed on the Link Results Window:

  • For Normal runs if Price of Water parameters have been added to at least one link
  • For BalanceNet runs regardless of whether Price of Water values have been entered against pipes.

These fields are Forward Cost of Water - From Node to To Node and Reverse Cost of Water - To Node to From Node. See Link Results Data Fields for more information.
