Developing & simulating scenarios
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.
Once you have a solid forecast of your future water demands, the next step in the planning process is to use your hydraulic model to explore how your current system (and potential future improvements) will perform under these anticipated conditions. This section focuses on the art and science of creating and simulating various "what-if" planning scenarios.
This typically involves first establishing a "baseline future" scenario. In this scenario, you'd apply your projected future demands (say, for a 10-year or 20-year horizon) to your existing system infrastructure to see where deficiencies like low pressures or insufficient pipe capacities might first appear. This baseline often highlights the "do nothing" consequences.
