Abstract
The standard water distribution training course begins with the basics of hydraulics
theory as it applies to water distribution modeling, then takes students through more
advanced topics such as working with multiple scenarios, model calibration, pump
selection, energy cost studies, extended-period simulation, fire flow analysis, and
water quality analysis.
Students become familiar with WaterCAD, and use the software to reinforce
concepts with workshop problems. Software training will cover all of the major
WaterCAD interface features including layout, scenario management, color coding,
graphing and custom reporting. Hydraulic transient analysis concepts are
also introduced. All material and software training in this course also applies to
WaterGEMS users.
Benefits
Attendees will learn the basic principals of water distribution modeling, gaining
essential knowledge for water system design and operation. This course also includes
comprehensive software training via hands-on exercises in which attendees
apply the WaterCAD (and WaterGEMS) models to solve common water distribution
system problems.
Prerequisites
Understanding of basic hydraulics.
Products Covered
