PIZER Introduces New Engine and GUI for the HYDRA Sewer Model; New Storm and Sanitary Sewer Modeling Software Offers Municipal Engineers Speedy, Practical Solutions for Hydraulic Analysis.SEATTLE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 1998--PIZER Inc. announced today the release of HYDRA 6, its newest software for storm and sanitary sewer A sanitary sewer (also called, especially in the UK, a foul sewer) is a type of underground carriage system for transporting sewage from houses or industry to treatment or disposal. modeling and design for municipal and consulting engineers. The upgrade includes an improved graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to seamlessly integrated with a powerful new hydraulic analysis engine. HYDRA's new 32-bit hydraulic calculation engine significantly speeds and simplifies the process of what is already significantly faster than the other leading municipal sewer models. Increased hydraulic analysis speed means sewer models are more likely to be used on a day-to-day basis for a variety of purposes, increasing its value to the city. "By enabling municipal engineers to more easily use their sewer models as both a long-range and day-to-day planning tool, HYDRA 6 strengthens our position in the sewer industry as the standard for municipal sewer modeling," said Allen Peyser, founder of PIZER Inc. and author of HYDRA. The new engine incorporates a new method for calculating the hydraulic grade line for backwater conditions. This unique backwater method uses a decision tree based on actual field measurements, making it more sensitive to field conditions than other methods based on formulas. This release marks the most significant improvement to HYDRA since PIZER pioneered the incorporation of GIS features to improve data integration with municipal information systems. A working sewer model for practicing professional engineers since 1973, HYDRA has pioneered many of the standards in the sewer modeling industry because of its uniquely practical approach to hydraulic analysis. Developed to be a practical analysis and planning tool for the municipal engineer, HYDRA 6 strikes the perfect balance between simplistic sim·plism n. The tendency to oversimplify an issue or a problem by ignoring complexities or complications. [French simplisme, from simple, simple, from Old French; see simple static models and overly sophisticated dynamic models.

PIZER estimates HYDRA has been used to model at least 2000 municipal sewer systems across the country, from Honolulu, Hawaii For the city and county of Honolulu, see City & County of Honolulu. “Honolulu” redirects here.

Honolulu is the capital as well as the most populous community of the State of Hawaii, United States. to Columbia, South Carolina Columbia is the state capital and largest city of South Carolina. As of 2006, estimates for the population of the city proper is 122,819[1]. Columbia is the county seat of Richland County, but a small portion of the city extends into Lexington County. , from Duluth, Minnesota, to Austin, Texas. HYDRA 6 costs between $3900.00 and $5500.00 per copy. HYDRA 6 runs with the Windows 95/98/NT Refers to all 32-bit versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000. It implies Windows ME and Windows 2000. It specifically excludes Windows 3.x. See Windows. operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . Pizer: Setting Sewer Modeling Software Standards for 25 Years A working hydraulic model for practicing professional engineers since 1973, Pizer has established itself as the industry standard-setter because of its uniquely practical approach to hydraulic analysis. Born of necessity and established by word of mouth, the HYDRA sewer model reflects over 25 years of visionary development and 29 industry firsts. Pizer holds a unique position in the hydraulic analysis industry by deriving and designing their programs from pragmatic, real world scenarios. HYDRA has sold over 1000 copies and been used by over 2,000 municipalities and consulting engineers throughout the U.S. and the world. A proud tradition for what has turned out to be one of the most popular programs for storm, sanitary, and combined sewer A combined sewer is a type of sewer system which provides partially separated channels for sanitary sewage and stormwater runoff. This allows the sanitary sewer system to provide backup capacity for the runoff sewer when runoff volumes are unusually high, but it is an antiquated analysis and design.
