Open Source Software to Analyze Water Distribution System Resilience
Citation:
Murray, R. AND K. Klise. Open Source Software to Analyze Water Distribution System Resilience. The World Federation of Scientists (WFS) Committee on Catastophic Risk: Assessment and Mitigation, Cincinnati,OH, February 19, 2020.
Impact/Purpose:
The presentation is an invitational overview of the Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR). WNTR is a tool that members of the WFS’ could use to address disastrous risks to water systems. Sandia and the EPA are developing a wide range of capabilities to help water utilities do a “deeper dive” into understanding the resilience of their drinking water system. By integrating hydraulic models and resilience metrics, water utilities can quantify the benefit of response actions and long-term mitigation strategies. Open-source software makes these methods available to a wide audience. Water utilities, research groups, and government organizations are invited to work with Sandia and the EPA on case studies.
