MIKE+ Water Distribution
Develop dynamic water distribution networks
MIKE+ Water Distribution is designed for modelling and analysing water distribution systems. It helps users optimise the management and operation of water networks by simulating various scenarios, identifying potential issues, and suggesting improvements for efficient water supply management.
It also comes equipped with EPANET simulation, Water Hammer identification, and Multi-Species water quality modelling for ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient water supply solutions. Whether allocating demand water or exploring control options, rely on MIKE+ to deliver the insights needed for informed decision-making in water distribution.

What’s new in MIKE+ Water Distribution - 2025
Q-H results plotting for pump performance
The Q-H results plotting feature for pumps enables users to analyse pump performance by plotting flow (Q) versus head (H). This helps optimise energy consumption and ensures the correct pump capacity is used for efficient water distribution. Users can check pump operation ranges to improve system performance and management. Watch Video
Addition of 'Modified Hazen-Williams' head loss type
The 'Modified Hazen-Williams' head loss method has been added to MIKE+ to meet regional preferences."
Pressure and flow control valves
This feature allows pressure and flow control valves to be simulated under hydraulic transient (water hammer) conditions. These valves automatically adjust their stroke position to maintain required pressure or flow set points. Users can now simulate pressure reducing valves, back pressure control valves, and flow control valves with greater accuracy under dynamic hydraulic conditions.
Elevate your water management capabilities with MIKE+ Zone water balance
Easily analyse measured time series for water balance calculation in any desired period with the Compute Zone Demand and Leakage tool which estimates average water demand and leakage per zone. Furthermore, the Distributed Demands tool empowers you to populate demands in nodes or pipes for simulations visualised through MIKE+ calibration plots. Plus, you can simplify the creation of custom daily or weekly demand patterns for each zone with the Create Time Patterns tool.
Optimise pump control for greater efficiency
Empower your pumping operations with our latest innovation – the new VSD pump control based on link flow. This feature offers unparalleled precision and flexibility in managing your pumps. What’s more, we’ve broadened your control options by introducing a versatile set-point that can be adjusted as either constant or time-variable. This expansion complements the existing pressure and water level control types, delivering increased flexibility and control.
Create your own user-defined columns for more custom results analysis
View model results and input data side by side within the same editors. To achieve ideal pipe network characteristics, you can adjust parameters based on specific criteria while simultaneously editing input data and reviewing the results. No need to search for matching data, like pipes, between two separate tables.
Manage your water distribution simple control logic all in one place
Boost your efficiency with quick access to all simple controls on your pipe networks through a user-friendly, comprehensive table. Stay in control of simple adjustments across your entire pipe network, whether it’s pipes, pumps, or other elements, using our new, easy-to-use editor.
