供水地理信息系统（GIS）用于为堪萨斯州曼哈顿市（pop.52000）开发规划级WaterCAD（R）供水系统模型。本文介绍了利用GIS数据建立模型的过程和方法。进行了初步数据评估，并在整个模型开发过程中应用了回溯检查程序。应用GIS工具和技术将原来的配电系统GIS迁移到WaterCAD（R）模型网络中。GIS迁移过程包括管道加固、管道拆除、网络连接、管道粗糙度分配和高程分配。创建了空间需求数据库（SDD），并用于估计消费者需求。SDD是通过将消费者账单记录与GIS包裹覆盖范围合并而开发的。SDD的需求通过最近节点分配方法分配给ArcView（R）GIS中的模型。 GIS程序简化了配水模型的开发过程，并将模型校准所需的时间降至最低。包括参考、表格、数字。

A water distribution geographic information system (GIS) was used to develop a planning level WaterCAD(R) water distribution system model for the City of Manhattan, Kansas (pop. 52,000). The process and methods used to develop a model from the GIS data are presented in this paper. An initial data assessment was made, and back checking procedures were applied throughout the model development process. GIS tools and techniques were applied to migrate the original distribution system GIS into the WaterCAD(R) model network. The GIS migration process included pipe consolidation, pipe removal, network connectivity, pipe roughness allocation and elevation assignment. A spatial demand database (SDD) was created and used to estimate consumer demand. The SDD was developed by merging consumer-billing records with a GIS parcel coverage. Demands from the SDD were allocated to the model in ArcView(R) GIS through a nearest node assignment method. The GIS procedures streamlined the water distribution model development process, and minimized the time required for model calibration. Includes reference, table, figures.
