H₂OMAP WQ Calibrator is the most powerful and comprehensive dynamic water quality model calibration software available on the market. It is the first geospatial optimization software in the world to harness the unequaled power of Object-Oriented Messy Genetic Algorithms technology with advanced Elitist and Global Search Control strategies in a true high-performance GIS environment. The result is the fastest, most practical, most comprehensive and accurate GIS-based network water quality model calibration program ever created for water engineers.

Until now, calibrating a network water quality model was an exhaustive trial-and-error process of adjusting the pipe wall reaction coefficients for reactive species (e.g., chlorine, chloramine) using basic engineering judgement until the model results coincide with field observations. Wall reaction coefficients depend on the pipe material, age and its condition (e.g., amount of biofilm growth or rate of corrosion). Typical values range from 0.25 to 1.5 ft/day but can also be negligible (for new cement-lined or plastic pipe) or much higher (especially in locations where corrosion is very high). These coefficients are also temperature dependent. However, there is relatively little information in the literature to help determine the pipe wall reaction coefficients and no simple laboratory procedure currently exists for estimating these coefficients; instead, field data must be used to back-fit assumed coefficient values to the data (i.e., pipe wall reaction coefficients must be determined from field data).

H₂OMAP WQ Calibrator fully automates and greatly simplifies this process, making water quality model calibration a remarkably easy and enjoyable task. It considers any combination of field water quality measurements, quickly determining pipe wall reaction coefficients to provide the best water quality calibration with a minimal effort and best reflect actual water quality conditions in the distribution system.

Now you can consistently build and analyze more complete, accurate and reliable water quality network models than ever before and in record time. Without that credibility, the most complex and theoretically sound model that could be developed would not be effective in helping plan a sound system. A well calibrated model will not only result in more accurate water quality simulations but will also greatly assist you in locating optimal sampling and satellite treatment locations and in making sound and cost-effective water quality management decisions.
