Requirements

You need :

• A working version of Epanet (english version mandatory)
• QGIS > 2.0
• The QGIS Processing framework

Installation

You need to have epanet as a command line tool for the plugin to work.

Install Epanet for Windows

Download and run http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet/EN2setup.exe

Compile Epanet for linux

Download Epanet sources from http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet/EN2source.zip

For linux:

mkdir epanet
cd epanet
wget http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet/EN2source.zip
unzip EN2source.zip
unzip -n epanet2.zip 
unzip -n makefiles.ZIP
unzip -n GNU_EXE.ZIP

Open the file epanet.c, comment out the line

#define DLL

and uncomment the line

#define CLE

Open the file Makefile and replace the line

cc -o epanet2 -lm $(objs)

by

cc -o epanet2 $(objs) -lm 

Then run:

make

Install the plugin

Simply put this directory in the plugin directory. On linux:

cd ~/.qgis2/python/plugin
git clone https://github.com/Oslandia/qgis-epanet.git

You then need to run QGIS, install the processing plugin and configure the path to the epanet executable in QGIS menu Processsing->Options and configuration.

Note: On Windows, choose epanet2d.exe.

Testing

The file simple_network.zip contains an example of a tank emptying on a pipe. Unzip the directory en follow intructions in simple_network/README.md

Notes

This plugin has been tested on real data on a real use case. This use case cannot be made publicly available.

We are currently looking for a use case with data that can be published alongside the code.
