- epanet-js is a web application combining modern web maps with the EPANET hydraulic simulation algorithm for water utility planning.
- Developed by Iterating experts Luke Butler and Sam Payá, it targets professionals in hydraulic simulation.
- The project uses code from Placemark, an open-source tool previously developed by the author, under a permissive MIT license.
- Iterating has contributed back to the Placemark codebase, showcasing a positive open-source collaboration.
- epanet-js is open-sourced under the Functional Source License, with contributions becoming open source after two years.
- The tool runs in browsers using WASM, offering a modern alternative to expensive, Windows-only EPANET software costing $16,000/year.
- The author expresses admiration for the project, highlighting its potential to disrupt traditional hydraulic simulation tools.
