Source Versions

There are several versions of the Source software, all of which are available via the eWater Toolkit at toolkit.net.au. Source (public version) is freely available as soon as a free Toolkit account is created. Other versions, such as the betas or the Source version with full water sharing functionality, is restricted under certain licensing conditions.

System Requirements

Outlined below are the minimum recommended system requirements for installing Source. Note that software installation may require the assistance of a system administrator.

Up to 5GB of available space may be required, and maintaining a free hard disk space of at least 20GB is recommended.
