Course Introduction

Water Distribution Systems should be planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained to deliver an adequate supply of water in a safe, cost-effective and reliable manner. An adequate water supply is required to maintain the health and economic viability of a community. In addition, an adequate supply of water is one of the primary requirements for fire suppression. This course is intended for those who require better understanding of water distribution systems planning, design and inspection.

 

This will achieve by better understanding of water distribution systems and their auxiliaries and accessories related to the system. You will be expected to complete a water distribution system planning and design under instructor guidance by using first principle methods and/or design aids. This course is designed to prepare water system staff to operate safely and cost effectively and maintain water systems. Also to provide them with knowledge, skills, abilities and judgment critical areas of water distribution system including storages, pumping, valves, pipelines and other accessories related to the system. This course will focus on train the Engineers on practical aspects of planning, design then inspection of water system to give others staff to operate and maintain the system with emphasis on safe practices, procedures and troubleshooting
