Impact/Purpose:

The purpose of this editorial is to promote and encourage participation in an Open Source development project forming around EPANET.

Description:

Water infrastructure simulation models, such as EPANET and SWMM, have played a significant role in simulating water distribution, stormwater and sanitary sewer systems. These software packages have played an important, and varying, role to different portions of the water infrastructure community. Municipalities, water utilities and consultants use these packages for planning, management and design of urban water infrastructure systems to provide adequate water services and protect public health.
