This article describes the use of a mapping program to develop a computer model of a water utility's entire distribution system. The steps for developing such a model, and how a computer model can help in the management of a system are discussed. Hypothetical cases are presented including: the existing system with an opened fire hydrant, analysis of the effects of cleaning and lining the mains, and an industrial or commercial area that needs a substantially improved fire flow.
