Types
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:
- Average daily model (see Average Water Use node)
- Behavioural model (the Behavioural Water Use node)
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

Other node types available in the Urban Developer Standalone Application, but not currently implemented in the Urban Developer Plugin include:
- Alternative Supply - An alternative supply node represents any water supply stream in the model, such as bore water, snow melt, or others. An alternative supply node has no configurable parameters.
- Impervious Area - An impervious area node is used to model catchment areas of zero infiltration, such as roads, driveways, parking lots, and other concreted or paved surfaces.
- Junction - A junction is a point where outflows or runoff from two or more other nodes converge and are aggregated.
- Pervious Area - A pervious area node models areas within the catchment that allow infiltration and seepage to groundwater.
- Receiving Node - A receiving node is intended to be the most downstream node in a network, or part of a network, and is used for tracking purposes.
- Subnetwork - A subnetwork is a characterisation of a group or cluster of dwellings, water uses or general water demands, as a discrete unit.
- Wastewater Connection - A wastewater connection node is an optional end-point of the wastewater aspect of a modelled system.
