Water Supply Network Design and Operation Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

A water-distribution network must deliver adequate quantity, pressure and quality across changing demand, asset condition and emergency conditions. Sound engineering links demand forecasts, hydraulic grade, pipe economics, pump and storage behaviour, fire-flow requirements, water age and operational constraints.

This five-day course integrates network design with real-world operation. Participants develop demand scenarios, size system components, interpret hydraulic models, assess transients, calibrate results and diagnose performance problems. They also address pressure management, non-revenue water, water quality, energy use, asset maintenance and contingency planning to support reliable, efficient and resilient service.

Objectives

Develop defensible water-demand scenarios.
Size distribution pipes using hydraulic criteria.
Design pump and storage configurations.
Build and interpret hydraulic network models.
Assess pressure, velocity and fire-flow performance.
Control leakage and non-revenue water.
Evaluate water-quality and transient risks.
Plan resilient network operations.
