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. For community discussion, FAQ, and roadmapping of the project, go to the [Community Forum](http://community.wateranalytics.org/category/epanet). 

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.

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).

__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.
