The Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR) is a Python package designed to simulate and analyze resilience of water distribution networks. The software includes capability to:

• Generate water network models
• Modify network structure and operations
• Add disruptive events including pipe leaks
• Add response/repair strategies
• Simulate pressure dependent demand and demand-driven hydraulics
• Simulate water quality
• Evaluate resilience
• Visualize results
