The Water Age plugin , available in the Qatium Marketplace, helps you monitor water quality across your distribution network. This tool tracks water age — a key indicator of water quality — and presents clear visual insights on how long water has been in your system. 

It allows you to:

• Visualize water age in your network
  We use colors to show how long the water has been in your network. You can filter by time to spot problematic areas.
• Optimize network operations
  Use water age insights to reduce losses and improve treatment efficiency by adjusting your operations in real time.
• Create risk maps and plan flushing
  Identify areas with lower water quality and use this data to visualize on the map the risk areas and plan flushing sequences.

To activate  or hide  the water age overlay on the map, use the toggle inside the panel.

Use the color range to filter by hours. We’ll highlight on the map the customer points within the selected range.

Before using the Water age plugin, make sure you’ve specified water quality for all the nodes in your model. You need to include the water age parameter in your .inp files for junctions, supply sources and tanks for Qatium to able to calculate water quality.
