Development of an Water Quantity and Quality Simulation Toolkit in Water Distribution System with Augmented Reality Technique

A sustainable water supply is essential for public health. However, sudden water quality accidents can occur due to changes in hydrological or meteorological conditions. The developed model provide quick preemptive response solutions with intuitive visual outputs are needed. To address this, we combined the EPANET model with MATLAB to create a graphical user interface and augmented reality model. The results demonstrated that the developed model can enhance user accessibility and visibility of model output, providing quick, preemptive response solutions for water quality accidents. We hope our research will be used as a practical response model, benefiting from the intuitiveness of our water quality simulation model.
