COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Water Transport & Distribution. It covers the water transport systems and its purpose and significance in the water supply chain; the water distribution networks, water treatment, transport integration and hydraulic principles in water transport; the energy efficiency in water transport, regulatory standards and guidelines and hydraulic modeling; and designing efficient water distribution systems, pressure management and control, leak detection and management. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the flow rates in distribution systems and optimizing flow through hydraulic modeling; the role of valves and flow meters in system control; the techniques for improving flow distribution across a network; the advanced control strategies for water distribution and asset management in water distribution; the water loss control and reduction, water quality control and monitoring; and the emergency response and crisis management in water distribution. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the large-scale water transport systems, optimizing pumping stations and booster systems and advanced pipe network design; designing water storage facilities and the impact of storage tanks on distribution efficiency; the elevation and pressure regulation in reservoirs and maintaining and operating challenges in large reservoirs; reducing environmental impact in water transport projects; the sustainable materials and energy solutions for water transport; minimizing carbon footprint in water system design and addressing climate change and water scarcity through system optimization; the smart water networks and IoT integration, automation in water transport and water-energy nexus; and the emerging technologies in water treatment and transport; adapting water distribution systems to climate change and designing systems to withstand extreme weather conditions; and the water conservation strategies in drought-prone areas.
