A host of uncertainties influence the accuracy of network
modeling exercises, and some caution is needed to interpret
program output and predictions. Too often, the wrong
sources are suspected as the causes of model uncertainty. Filion
and Karney show that the Hazen-Williams equation was seldom
the culprit.
The authors hope that their findings will help to stimulate
research and an understanding in the industry of the challenges
faced by hydraulic and water quality simulations. In addition, they
encourage utility managers to use the Hazen-Williams equation
with more confidence and to view hydraulic models in general
with a little more suspicion. Includes 20 references, figures.
