EPANET Online Water Distribution & Pipe Network Analysis
Professional EPANET 2.2 simulations online. Analyze water distribution systems, optimize pipe networks, and simulate pressure zones in your browser.
What is EPANET and how does it work?
EPANET is the gold-standard hydraulic and water-quality simulation software developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for pressurized pipe networks. Engineers and utilities worldwide rely on EPANET 2.2 to model water distribution systems, analyze pressure zones, simulate water age and chlorine decay, and optimize pump scheduling across networks of any scale.
The engine performs extended-period simulation of hydraulic behavior and water quality within drinking water distribution systems — tracking flow rates, pressures, tank water levels, and chemical concentrations throughout the network over multiple time steps.
Online EPANET simulation (no installation required)
HydroBOA runs the official EPANET 2.2 engine natively in the cloud. Open any .inp file, edit pipes, junctions, reservoirs, tanks, pumps, and valves through the visual network editor, then simulate and inspect results without leaving the browser. No Windows dependency, no local installation, no license hassle.

Advanced pressure network analysis on the cloud
Analyze pressure variations, detect low-pressure zones, optimize valve settings, and model transient events across complex pipe networks. HydroBOA's cloud compute scales to handle large distribution system models with thousands of pipes, providing extended-period simulation results streamed directly to interactive network maps and time-series charts.
Capabilities
- Extended-period hydraulic simulation with demand patterns
- Chlorine residual and water age tracking
- Pump energy cost optimization
- Fire flow analysis and pressure adequacy checks
Why use HydroBOA for EPANET modeling?
Unlike desktop EPANET which requires manual file management and lacks collaboration features, HydroBOA integrates EPANET within a unified workspace alongside SWMM and HEC-RAS. Version-controlled models, automated pipe design, severity analysis for network vulnerability assessment, and cross-platform access from any device make it the professional choice for water distribution engineers and utilities.
