Material and age in network model about wntr HOT 1 CLOSED

Custom attributes can be added to any network component, see https://wntr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/waternetworkmodel.html#add-custom-element-attributes for an example. This can include attributes like material and pipe age, which can be used in stochastic simulations.

WNTR now includes methods to build water network models from GIS data. See https://wntr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/model_io.html#geodataframe-representation for more information. To use the from_gis method, you can read GIS files (i.e., shapefile, geojson) into Python and create a dictionary of GeoDataFrames. The column names from a utility database often need to be modified before using this method in WNTR.

Feel free to post comments on how these capabilities work for you.
