Introduction to urban water distribution systems
Why You Should Attend?
Water distribution modeling is the latest technology in a process of advancement that began more than two millennia ago when the Minoans – based on the Island of Crete in Greece - constructed the first piped water conveyance system. Today, water distribution modeling is a critical part of designing and operating water distribution systems that are capable of serving communities reliably, efficiently, and safely, both now and in the future. The availability of increasingly sophisticated and accessible models allows these goals to be realized more fully than ever before. This among other applications of water distribution system modeling are what makes this course a must attend. In this course, participants will get to understand in more detail what a water distribution system (WDS) entails – its anatomy and analyses, the steps involved in the modeling process of WDS and the applications of a WDS model.
Who Should Attend
Municipal/District engineers, developers and planners, engineering consultants, hydraulic engineers, technicians, technologists, designers and other technical personnel who are responsible for or oversee water distribution facilities.
What You Will Receive
For this course all participants will receive:
• Training handout, Software and Manual (Electronic Copy)
