WaterNAM revolutionizes the design and analysis of water distribution systems by seamlessly integrating hydraulic and water quality simulation capabilities within the ArcGIS^® environment. It provides an all-in-one solution for a water infrastructure owners, managers and design engineers. WaterNAM applications may include:

• Design and analysis of a community water distribution network including pipe sizing, rehabilitation, pressure optimization, valve allocation, loss estimation, pump scheduling and energy-cost analysis.
• Designing sampling programs.
• Study of disinfectant loss and by-product formations.
• Evaluation of alternative strategies to improve water quality such as analysis with multi source system.
• Optimization of pump and tank operations and, thereby, reducing water age.
• Allocation of booster disinfection stations in order to achieve target residuals at the extreme ends.
• Planning and improving a system's hydraulic performance.
• Fire-flow analysis and hydrant rating.
• Source water quality tracking.
• Study of valve operations in a network.
• Study of system vulnerability and operator training.
• Management of a GIS based water utility information system.
