What's new in InfoWater Pro 2026

New features of InfoWater Pro 2026

NEW

Leakage modeling

Pressure-driven leakage is now supported directly on pipes and junctions for full leakage modeling capabilities. (video: 1:06 min.)

NEW

Fire flow asset impact analysis

Asset Impact Reporting is now available from the fire flow tab of the Run Manager, allowing you to summarize the pipes with high velocities and junctions with low pressures based on the total aggregate of all simulated fire flows at hydrants. (video: 1:14 min.)

ENHANCED

Water quality simulation improvements

You now have the ability to run water quality simulations with initial state files. By implementing this, you can now significantly lower the run duration lengths for simulations like water age and chlorine decay analysis. (video: 29 sec.)
