Jesse, Thank you for your reply on the water modeling set up. We are developing a 180 acre multiuse site in a downtown area. Therefore, we will have a demand for the whole site around 1800 gpm. I have never modeled anything this big before. We know we are going loop the system back into the city's network of pipe. Can I use two reservoirs in the model to loop the system using the hydrant test provided by the City? We want to use a 12" main to loop the system. However, if you show a 12" pipe on the model it greatly affects velocities, etc because it doesn't know it is being tied into another system. The model assumes that I am using too large of a pipe.
