Simulating water distribution networks in JavaScript.

I maintain a JS conversion of the EPA's simulation engine EPANET. https://epanetjs.com/ https://github.com/modelcreate/epanet-js

I've built a few open source apps and few other little projects to help automate my workflow.

There are only a handful of providers of modelling software, most are commercial and one recently sold to Autodesk for $1B.

Not sure I'll convince the industry to change but I'm enjoying tinkering around and making my own small difference.
