1. Introduction

ghydraulic is a free hydraulic network analysis program. It still needs a lot of development.

ghydraulic is inspired by the BASIC/FORTRAN program NETZY by Prof. Bernhard Kunst. The sourcecode of both versions can be found in [1]. These programs and the article describing was a big help in the development of this software.

Right now ghydraulic is a command-line tool that reads a given XML input file and prints the calculated results. The goal of the development is to have GIS software as a front-end to the analysis program ghydraulic. The results will be returned in another xml file.

DON'T TRUST the results of ghydraulic right now, use other software packages to verify them.

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. You'll need libxml to use ghydraulic.
