Wadiso is a comprehensive computer program used for the analysis and optimal design of water distribution networks. The program integrates steady state analysis, extended time simulation, water quality analysis and network cost optimization within a graphical CAD/GIS-based environment into a single valuable tool for water engineers.

Features of the program include:

• It enables engineers to quickly determine pressure and flow rates in water distribution system and graphically visualize the system layout and analysis results.
• It is a modelling tool which allows simulation of system performance inclusive of water quality over time periods and under various emergency or critical conditions.
• It is an expert system, which permits system design for minimum cost, including capital investment for pipes and tanks as well as recurring cost for pumping energy.
• Detailed plan books can be generated from the model.
• It integrates with IMQS management information viewer.
• Wadiso is continually being further developed and maintained in South Africa by GLS Software for a local and international client base. The engineers of GLS Consulting are well familiar with local and international requirements and are personally involved in projects from their inception to completion using the software.
