Water Distribution Network Operation, Inspection & Maintenance

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 a better understanding of water distribution systems planning, design, and inspection.

This will be achieved by a 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 in critical areas of the water distribution system, including storage, pumping, valves, pipelines, and other accessories related to the system.

This course will focus on training the Engineers on practical aspects of planning, design, then inspection of the water system to enable other staff to operate and maintain the system with emphasis on safe practices, procedures, and troubleshooting.
