The EPANET-Python Toolkit is an open-source software, originally developed by the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, University of Cyprus which operates within the Python environment, for providing a programming interface for the latest version of EPANET, a hydraulic and quality modeling software created by the US EPA, with Python, a high-level technical computing software. The goal of the EPANET Python Toolkit is to serve as a common programming framework for research and development in the growing field of smart water networks.
The EPANET-Python Toolkit features easy to use commands/wrappers for viewing, modifying, simulating and plotting results produced by the EPANET libraries.
