I am Eng. Lodrick, Irrigation and Water Supply Engineer! This is my channel where I share free content on hydraulic modelling and how to use software like EPANET and WaterGEMS!
Apart from free tutorials, I also offer the following service:-
1. Physical or online on-to-one EPANET hydraulic modelling training for individuals or groups of people.
2. Consultancy service on water project design/hydraulic modelling for gravity and pumping water supply projects (using EPANET Software).
For consultancy Services and business enquiries please reach me out on Linkedin or Email (complexlodrick@gmail.com)!

All the software used in this channel is for learning purposes. We are not using any of those for any commercial or business purpose. On other hand, through this channel these software are getting familiar with engineers. Hope all of you will appreciate these good deeds.
We use it because we want to estimate losses, or maybe it is simpler to use, but it is not a must to use Hazen Williams; depending on where you are living and what your project requires, you can even use Darcy Weisbach (which is hydraulically more accurate, of course).
Olá, bom dia Quero agradecer o seu trabalho, pois me ajudou muito. Sou Corretor de imóveis e consegui converter vários pontos de coordenadas UTM de uma escritura de um imóvel rural e localizar sua real posição e área pelo GPS no Bing Maps e Google Earth Pro. Salvei a sua planilha, está funcionando muito bem. Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Hello Sir, i have 1 question.im going to lay the pipe to my development where i have to tap from water main pipe in which the pressure at the water main is 20mHead. So, am i going to assume a reservoir as my tapping point or junction inside my simulation? Cause i need to know the residual pressure in my development area..
1. Because the dynamic pressure is known, i.e. 20mwc, then You can do two things: either you assume it is a junction or a tank with a minimum water level of 20m. I think the tank with the minimum water level of 20m will be the best idea because, when you design, the 20m will contribute directly to where you want to supply water (distribution side). IMO at the tapping point, assume it is a tank with minimum water level 20m and elevation at this tank should be the elevation at the tapping point. 2. The 2nd option is to take a portion that takes water to your tapping point. for example, if the source is the tank then in your model, make sure you are including the tank and a part of the pipe that takes water from the tank to where you want to tape your new network. 3. Apart from that, if you have time, you can get the whole network in EPAnet and then introduce your network. Essentially, with this approach, the benefit you will get is to know exactly how your new network will behave when connected to the existing network. Good luck.
Brother you are a genius. I pretty well understand every content of your videos. I enjoy and learn alot from your work. Don't stop doing this. The young generation of engineers need this.
Hello, I have recently been learning to use CROPWAt and CLIMWat and I want to calculate the crop water requirement for my country at the provincial scale for 2010-2020 and I have a few questions to ask. Looking forward to your reply.🥰First, can I export 150 or so sites at once in CLIM? I learned that CROPWat can only select a pen or cli file for one site at a time, so how can I quickly figure out the water requirements for 150 sites for 10 years? Second question, how to check the corresponding year of pen and cli data of CLIM export site? The third question is, which criteria should I use when calculating effective rainfall? Fourthly, in about 14 minutes of the video, you mentioned that a variety of crops can be considered to calculate the water requirement of crops, but I don't quite understand it. Will the ETc calculated before be automatically updated when crop types are added? Fifth, for the soil type part, I just need to identify the crop types in my study area and choose from CROPWat? What I want to ask is, are the parameters of the same soil type uniform across countries?
I have the completed WaterGems tutorials for beginners. Please do a videos of designing water supply networks by importing a layouts from other sources like Google earth & QGIS. Thank you

@@HydroinformaticsAcademy CLIMWAT2.0 export My own research area site has two files, pen and cli files. First import the pen files into the ET0 module in CROPWAT8.0 and the following results appear. My question is what is the year of the exported data? How do I date the data? looking forward to a reply😭
You are doing a great job teaching watergems. I have a question and would appreciate your answer. If I want to pump water into a ground storage tank, at what height should the feed pipe enter the tank? Is there any guidelines? Note that the water in the ground storage tank will also be pumped into a treatment plant from the other side of the inlet point.
Thank you for the clear and helpful videos. But if you can help me and answer my question. In this video when you opened the scheme for the pattern what is the unit of the numbers in front of each crop is it (mm) for ETc??
I did not get exactly where you are referring to but from my experience, the common unit of measure for ETc is mm or mm/day! So if you are talking about ETc then the unit of measure is mm!
Nashukuru ila i strongly advice you to watch the updated one it will help you to get even the UTM coordinates: UPDATED VERSION: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39oMW6V_C-s.html
For this tutorial please watch the updated version here, atleast it will help you to extract both LatLong and UTM coordinates as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39oMW6V_C-s.html
Thank you for sharing the tutorials; your teaching is excellent. Do you have any tutorials on EPS (time analysis)? Additionally, do you have any guidance on importing our network and counters from AutoCAD (in DXF format) and elevating our component by those counters? thank you for your time
Thank you for your feedback 1. Speaking of EPS, actually this is one of the most fascinating topics in hydraulic design, i remember in 2021 I created around 40minutes tutorial on this topic but before I even started editing it my laptop was stolen and ever since I have not got any chance (if not mood) to recreate it! But in my one-to-one training, I normally cover it intensively! So maybe one day I will upload the tutorial or you can as well attend the training that I normally conduct! 2. Also about working with DXF files, I have not covered it yet but maybe I will cover it somewhere in the future🙏
RECOMMENDED TUTORIALS 1. Extract UTM Coordinates from Google Earth PRO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39oMW6V_C-s.html 2. Import Data in WaterGEMS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vcGoiG1bDek.html
Hi engineer Ludwig, Thank you so much for your excellent teaching. would you please answer my question? what would happen if the head loss gradient is less than 5 meters per km and more than 10 meters per km?
Thank you for this video. Really helpful. Question, what is your design criteria or for pressure? Or what is the minimum and maximum pressure for pipes?
Hello sir, My pump Rl is 724 meter and Tank Rl is 934 meter As conditions water demand in Tank is 36000 lrt per day.. My question is when I put actual demand 0.41 flow per second in watergem it's shows negative flow... Plz help
Hi. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tutorials. Its really been a great help in understanding this software. I am stuck as my pump information is not showing up in flex table once, I have imported data from google earth
