# Water Distribution Modeler Skill

## Purpose

The Water Distribution Modeler Skill analyzes water distribution systems including pipe network analysis, fire flow evaluation, and pump performance assessment.

## Capabilities

- Pipe network analysis (Hardy-Cross, Newton-Raphson)
- Fire flow analysis
- Pump curve analysis
- Storage tank sizing
- Pressure zone analysis
- Water quality modeling
- Extended period simulation
