Water Distribution Analysis and Design

21 Professional Development Hours

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

  • Develop water distribution systems with a thorough understanding of hydraulic principles and system components.
  • Evaluate existing systems to identify inefficiencies and implement effective solutions.
  • Apply industry-standard design standards to create efficient and reliable water distribution networks.
  • Use EPANET2 software to model, analyze, and optimize water distribution systems.
  • Design comprehensive water systems at the sub-division level, addressing both hydraulic and quality considerations.

Description
Efficient water distribution systems are vital for urban and rural communities, ensuring access to safe, reliable water for daily use and emergency needs. Understanding the core principles of hydraulics, pipeline mechanics, and network analysis provides the foundation for designing systems that meet regulatory standards and performance requirements. This course delves into these principles, offering insights into the operation of pumps, valves, and other essential system components while introducing tools like the Moody Diagram and Bernoulli's equation to enhance your analysis.

Participants will gain practical knowledge of designing water distribution networks using industry-standard approaches. From understanding peak demand and fire flow requirements to analyzing pipe flows and water quality, you’ll learn to predict performance and address real-world challenges. EPANET2, a widely recognized hydraulic modelling software, will be a key focus, allowing you to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to design, analyze, and optimize water distribution systems. Whether modelling a new system or troubleshooting an existing one, the skills you acquire will prepare you to address the complex demands of water distribution with confidence and precision.

Who Should Attend
This course is designed for municipal engineers, engineering and public works directors, city engineers, and operations superintendents. It will also benefit professionals such as water distribution system managers, infrastructure managers, safety inspectors, and procurement officers. It’s ideal for consulting engineers, technicians, technologists, and contractors involved in water distribution management or seeking a deeper understanding of network design and analysis.

Additionally, the course is valuable for educators and trainers who teach water distribution topics, professionals preparing for certification in hydraulic engineering, and anyone interested in enhancing their knowledge of system design and software applications like EPANET2. Whether you’re an industry veteran or a newcomer, this course offers valuable insights and tools to advance your expertise in water distribution.
