Tanks are among the most important assets in the network, and managing them is a critical part of your network management.
Tanks details
Qatium distills all available tank data to provide you with clear and essential information. Hover over or click on the tank icon to see it.
Tank autonomy
| Available on |
Not being able to provide water to its customers is probably one of the greatest fears of any water utility. This is the reason we want to give you as much insights as possible into the state of your tanks.
Through the Tank Autonomy panel, you’ll also see–as the name implies–an estimate of your tanks’ autonomy.
Setting tank level warnings
On top of that, you can set leading indicators of issues in your tanks, and access detailed information about the current situation. Operators can use warnings to devise a plan of action for preventive countermeasures against any service disruption.
To configure warnings, set thresholds (minimum and maximum values) for your tanks in your GIS files or EPANET according to the following specifications:
| GIS editor | |
|---|---|
| Field | WarningThresholdMin WarningThresholdMax |
| Attribute | number |
| EPANET | |
|---|---|
| Property | Description |
| Value |
[WarningThresholdMin]_[WarningThresholdMax] Example: DI_1.2_12.5 |
Qatium will analyze and process your live data to find relevant events and display warnings when your tanks’ autonomy trespasses your thresholds.
If you want to see how the network behaves with different thresholds, you can edit them directly from the asset tooltip. In that moment, you’ll switch to scenario mode, and you will see the changes inside the asset detail information.
