Among the notable methods are the Hardy cross method, linear approximation method, Newton Raphson method and the hybrid method to mention but a few, to solve a system of partly linear, and partly non-linear hydraulic equations. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the use of Excel solver to verify the Hardy Cross method for the analysis of flow in water piping networks.
