Powerful Analysis with the Industry Standard Hydra -- Since 1973

Leader in Hydraulic Analysis

• Complex systems - Any mix of pipes, channels, gutters, inlets, diversions, pumps, reservoirs, or weirs may be used.
• Flexible input - User can set parameters that control head-loss, minor loss, culvert constants, bend loss curves, junction losses, and outfall water surface elevations.
• Odd shapes - Analyzes odd-shaped symmetrical pipes, such as boxes or ovals.
• Reservoirs unlimited - No limit to the number of reservoirs or how they are connected.
• Surface modeling - Inlets may be rated to pond, or to jump flow to the downstream gutter.
• Customize each reservoir - Each reservoir can have its own volume/discharge curve, capacity, and invert elevations.
• Surcharge and capacity - Capacity analysis combines with surcharge analysis to distinguish bottle necks from pipes that have sufficient capacity, but are experiencing surcharge due to downstream overloads.
• Submerged outlets - Analyze the effect of submerged outlet conditions on the collection system.
  

Sophisticated Handling of Hydrographs

• Four separate hydrographs - Sanitary, seasonal infiltration, storm, and miscellaneous flows are simulated in four separate parallel hydrographs. This features allows unusually accurate calibration of the model. HydraGraphics automatically overlays the various individual hydrographs to create one combined hydrograph for each pipe during analysis. The data for each element of the combined hydrograph remains distinct so you can easily calibrate the model as you get more data about each type of flow in your system.
• Hydrographs are time-routed throughout the collection system.
• Hydrographs for results - After hydraulic analysis is complete, you'll see the effect of upstream and downstream flows reflected in the hydrograph for each pipe.
• Variable time steps - Number of steps and length of steps can be varied to either adjust the resolution of the analysis or vary the length of the analysis from 24 hours to 255 days.
• Detention and wet well - Pumps and reservoirs include detention and wet well hydrographs allowing you to monitor the dilution or mixture of the various incoming hydrographs, at the intake, discharge, over flow, and the wet well.
• Highly accurate - Pumps and reservoirs are analyzed in microsteps for hydraulic accuracy.
  

Design Features

• Simultaneous analysis of existing laterals and design new pipes.
• Missing parameters calculated, including inverts, diameter, and slope.
• Select the maximum depth/diameter you want the design pipe to carry.
• Match crowns, inverts, 2/3 points or anything in between.
• Specify sizes - Choose which pipes may be used in design.
• Automatic optimization - In design mode, new pipes are selected and inverts optimized automatically based on your criteria for maximum velocity, cover, etc.
• Cost estimation analysis through HYDRA.
  

Sanitary Wastewater Modeling

• Flexible flow data - Sanitary flows can be based on population, land-use type, and/or summed flow quantities.
• Multi-layer - You can accumulate sanitary flows from several types of layers. For example, use the Parcel layer for high-density mixed-use areas where land use varies for each parcel. Use the Land-Use Areas layer for more homogenous zones.
• Polygon/polygon intersect techniques built into HydraGraphics allow land-use data to be injected through sanitary service area polygons or individual parcels to distribute flows across the system.
• Model across time - HydraGraphics manages as many land-use layers as needed to model projected population changes over the years. For example, create a layer for 1995 population, and two alternative 2010 population layers.
• Considers septic - Manages changes in flow due to use of septic tanks for portions of the city.
• Unlimited number of diurnal curves to reflect hourly pattern differences in land use.
• Multiple diurnal curves - For each land-use area, service area, or parcel, separate diurnal curves and data can be input for three distinct land-use types, including residential, visiting, commercial, and industrial flows.
• Parcel layer may be used instead of, or in addition to, the land-use area layer for population-based flows.
• Injects by pipe - The 24-hour hydrographs are injected into the collection system on a pipe-by-pipe basis
  

Stormwater Runoff Modeling

• Routes storm flows in time-sensitive hydrographs to model storm movement realistically.
• Track storms - You can define the size and characteristic of a storm cell, starting position, tracking azimuth, and its velocity.
• Maintain rainfall data - Hyetograph files can be used to store and model various storm events. User can create these files from different information sources including physical rain meters or radar output.
• Any basin characteristics - Hydrographic True Simulation technique includes modeling of flat roof, puddle, weeping puddle, and interception storage.
• User-defined parameters - You can dictate infiltration rates, detention storage, and numerous other parameters.
• Determine peak impact - In design mode, HydraGraphics can shuffle the storm and infiltration hydrographs against the sanitary hydrographs to determine the peak impact time for each link, to show you the "worst case" timing for maximum flow design.
  

Infiltration / Inflow Studies

• Defects database - Include individual records for every known defect in your collection system, and set priorities for repair. Flexible data structure allows easy transfers to and from third-party maintenance programs.
• Model repair scenarios - Use defects data to generate infiltration and inflow injections. Model the effects of repairs on the system by "turning off" defects, either by priority level or projected date of repair.
• Model storm scenarios - You can model the impact of individual storms on a sanitary system using Rational, SCS, or Hydrographic True Simulation methods. You can direct a portion of the infiltration from a storm into the system as rapid infiltration through a separate drainage layer.
• Individual pipes - Apply inflow and/or infiltration to individual pipes, or to the entire system.
  

Data Input and Integration

• GISMaster - The HydraGraphics package comes with the graphical data interface for AutoCAD versions 12 or 13 for Windows or DOS. GISMaster is an AutoCAD "add-on" that sets standards for drawing layers and allows only the correct type of entities to be included in the drawing. GISMaster ensures that the drawing files you create will provide the right graphical information needed for hydraulic analysis.
• CAD Independent - Hydraulic analysis and tabular data structure is independent of any CAD system. Once graphical data is entered, your HydraGraphics project can be moved to most any hardware platform running Windows, including a laptop.
• Output to CAD - HydraGraphics exports the Plan view with selected associated data and color to an AutoCAD drawing exchange (DXF) file for use in any CAD program.
• Windows printing - For a chosen link, output the associated data, profiles, or hydrographs to any Windows printer. Uses standard Print Setup options.
• Cut and Paste - Copy data, profiles, hydrographs, plan views to the Windows clipboard for insertion into other Windows applications as graphics or data.
• Add fields - Add up to approximately 100 user-defined data fields to any layer database from database programs such as FoxPro or dBASE.
• Standard data format - Stores data in standard DBF and MDB format files for easy exchange and use with other data management systems. Export results or input data in DBF or text files.
