This report by Angela Suarez, an Application Engineer at Bentley, presents a detailed comparison between three hydraulic modeling software: EPANET v2.0, WaterCAD, and WaterGEMS v8i SS3. It evaluates the ease of use, hydraulic elements, CAD/GIS interoperability, model building tools, advanced hydraulic features, and technical support. The findings indicate that while EPANET offers limited capabilities, WaterCAD and WaterGEMS provide extensive functionalities and resources, making them preferable for complex hydraulic modeling tasks.
