* Update README.md

* Update README.md

Some section titles were re-named to conform to GitHub guidelines and the OWA info was moved to a CREDITS section.

* Update README.md

Added link to the Community Forum page.

* Replaced OWA copyright with "(see AUTHORS)".

* Update AUTHORS

Copied format used by the OWA-SWMM project.

* Update README.md

## DESCRIPTION
## For EPANET-related questions and discussion
For community discussion, FAQ, and roadmapping of the project, go to the [Community Forum](http://community.wateranalytics.org/category/epanet).
**EPANET** is an industry-standard program for modeling the hydraulic and water quality behavior of water distribution system pipe networks. The EPANET Programmer's Toolkit is a library of functions (or API) written in C that allow programmers to customize the use of EPANET's solution engine for their own applications. Both EPANET and its toolkit were originally developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). If you are interested in using/extending the EPANET engine and its API for academic, personal, or commercial use, then you've come to the right place. [Read more about EPANET on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPANET). (Please note that this project covers only the EPANET hydraulic and water quality solver engine, not the graphical user interface.)
## What is on this Repository?
The EPANET Library is a pressurized pipe network hydraulic and water quality analysis toolkit written in C. If you are interested in using/extending EPANET for academic, personal, or commercial use, then you've come to the right place.
## INSTALLATION
Please see the [`version 2.1` Release Notes](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/blob/master/ReleaseNotes2_1.md) for information relevant to users of the previous official version (2.00.12). If you would like to contribute by addressing any of the outstanding [Issues](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/issues), then please comment on the Issue, then Fork this repo to your own account and base your commits on the [`dev` branch](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/tree/dev). Once you are finished, you can open a Pull Request to test the code and discuss merging your changes back into the community respository.
Instructions for building the OWA-EPANET Toolkit's function library as well as its command line executable from the source files in this repository can be found [here](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/blob/dev/BUILDING.md).
A step-by-step tutorial on how to contribute to EPANET using GitHub is also [available](http://www.slideshare.net/demetriseliades/contributing-to-epanet-using-github-in-windows).
## USAGE
__Note:__ This repository is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the USEPA. For the last "official" release of EPANET (2.00.12 UI and Toolkit) please go to the [EPA's GitHub repo](https://github.com/USEPA/Water-Distribution-Network-Model) or [the USEPA website](http://www2.epa.gov/water-research/epanet). It is also not the graphical user interface version. This is the hydraulic and water quality solver engine.
See the [full documentation](http://wateranalytics.org/EPANET/) of the OWA-EPANET API, along with examples of how to use the toolkit for water distribution system analysis. Additional information may be found on this project's [Wiki](https://github.com/openwateranalytics/epanet/wiki).
However, if you are interested in extending EPANET for academic, personal, or commercial use, then you've come to the right place. For community discussion, FAQ, and roadmapping of the project, go to the [Community Forum](http://community.wateranalytics.org/category/epanet).
## CONTRIBUTING
Everyone is welcome to participate in this project. Whether you are helping others to resolve issues, reporting a new issue that hasn't yet been discovered, suggesting a new feature that would benefit your workflow, or writing code (or tests, or scripts, or ...), we value your time and effort. The path for contribution starts with the [Issues](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/issues). Look around at open Issues and the conversation around them, get engaged by commenting on an outstanding Issue or creating a new one. If you want to contribute code, it helps to give the community time to discuss the ideas you present and offer constructive feedback. Once you get a clear path forward, Fork this repo to your own account. Make your commits on your dev branch (or one based on dev). Once you are finished, you can open a Pull Request to test the code and discuss merging your changes back into the community repository. A [step-by-step tutorial](http://www.slideshare.net/demetriseliades/contributing-to-epanet-using-github-in-windows) on how to contribute to OWA-EPANET using GitHub is also available.
## CREDITS
The **Open Water Analytics** (OWA) Community is an international group of EPANET developers and users, whose objective is to provide group interaction and coordinated development of the EPANET codebase, to ensure that important new user interface and algorithmic features are identified and that these features progress efficiently from prototype code to production implementations. OWA is actively maintaining OWA-EPANET, a community-supported branch of USEPA EPANET, since May 2014. The full list of individuals contributing to this project can be found [here](https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/blob/dev/AUTHORS).
## DISCLAIMER
Although OWA is not formally affiliated with nor endorsed by USEPA, this project has been a collaborative effort between the two that builds upon and extends the USEPAs legacy EPANET 2.0 code base. For the last "official" release of EPANET please go to the [USEPA website](http://www2.epa.gov/water-research/epanet).
For more general community discussion, FAQ, and roadmapping of the project, please go to the [Community Forum](http://community/wateranalytics.org).
