This section lists all the Urban Developer node types, their characteristics and how their models operate.

See the node connection rules for a summary of how the node inputs and outputs are allowed to be connected.

Node Models

Nodes represent a physical entity or process within the system that occurs on a relatively localised basis. For example, a roof rainwater tank, mains supply point and/or waste water discharge point are all represented by nodes.

Nodes represent a physical entity or process within the system that occurs on a relatively localised basis. A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour. The Urban Developer Plugin offers two methods for simulating water use behaviour:

The following table lists the node models currently available within the Urban Developer Plugin. Each node is represented by a specific icon. The table outlines the function of each node model; other sections of this User Guide contain a more comprehensive description of each node model.

RoofA roof node represents a physical roof catchment surface.

TankA tank is a type of storage used in domestic and industrial settings to store water from runoff, recycled water or a mains supply , and to release it in a controlled manner.

Average Water useA water use node represents representing average urban water demand and water consumption behaviour.

Behavioural Water useA water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour., based on a stochastic end-use demand simulation
