Introduction to hydraulics

✏️Course in Development

Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.

Welcome to the world of hydraulics in water distribution modeling! If you've ever wondered how water gets from a treatment plant to a customer's tap with just the right pressure, or how engineers design complex networks of pipes to serve an entire city, you're in the right place.

This section is your starting point, laying the crucial groundwork for everything that follows. We'll begin by demystifying hydraulic theory, explaining why it's not just academic jargon but an indispensable tool for anyone involved in designing, operating, or optimizing these vital systems. You'll quickly see how understanding these principles is key to preventing costly mistakes and ensuring reliable service.
