Effundo Discolouration Analysis Model

EDAM utilises the latest research in shear stress principles to model the discolouration risk, in average NTU, at both the trunk main and District Meter Area (DMA) level.

EDAM takes advantage of the familiar Microsoft Excel environment to control and apply additional calculations in the EPAnet hydraulic modelling environment.

The Benifits of Discolouration Modelling

Example Network

EDAM can help the water practitioner make informed rehabilitation decisions by answering vital discolouration questions:

• Where is discolouration material accumulating?
• Which pipes are self cleansing?
• Which pipes are most at risk of mobilising turbidity material due to increased flows in other parts of the network?
• Which pipes are most at risk of causing discolouration in other pipes if they fail?
