This course discusses drinking water- its source, transmission and distribution. Both ground and surface sources are discussed. Methods of withdrawing from these sources are explained. It describes the numerous appurtenant structures needed for the purpose. Several technical terms used in the water works are explained. Example problems with solutions are presented.
Detailed presentation of transmitting the water from the source to the consumer is provided. Both gravity flow and pressure flow are discussed. Relevant formulas and nomographs needed to solve problems are included. Example problems with solutions are provided. Different means of transporting water including pipes, conduits, and tunnels etc, with needed appurtenant structures, are described.
The distribution of water is explained in detail. Description of the distribution network analysis using 'Hardy Cross' Method', 'Equivalent Pipe Method', and 'Method of Sections' are adequately presented. Numerical examples related to real life problems are presented along with solutions.
The storage needs of a community with consideration to the fluctuation in demand, fire fighting needs, and emergency reserve are explained.
This course is relevant for municipal engineers, utility directors, consulting engineers and engineers working in regulatory agencies.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare different water sources based on availability, suitability, and quantity.
- Select an appropriate water source for a community and identify the infrastructure needed to tap that source.
- Describe methods for transmitting water to a community.
- Design a water-transmission system while considering cost and budget constraints.
- Identify the pipes, conduits, tunnels, and other appurtenances required for construction.
- Perform a hydraulic analysis of a distribution network using the Hardy Cross method, the equivalent-pipe method, and the method of sections.
- Determine the required storage quantity based on demand fluctuations, fire reserve, and emergency reserve.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 16 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
