This class 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 and alternatives; model calibration; pump selection; energy and cost studies; extended-period simulation; fire flow analysis; identifying critical links or shortfalls within a water system; and finally pipe renewal planning. Students will become familiar with WaterCAD and use the software to reinforce concepts with case studies. As WaterCAD and WaterGEMS capabilities are the same throughout this course, users will gain an understanding of both software applications. Live training courses are very interactive. Students will continually engage with the instructor to ensure a successful learning outcome that includes a course assessment.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

- Apply the basic principles of water distribution modeling;
- Gain essential knowledge for water system design, operation, and troubleshooting;
- Apply WaterCAD/WaterGEMS models to solve common water distribution system problems;
- Develop a deeper understanding of model creation and analysis using WaterCAD/WaterGEMS;
- Increase productivity by using automated approaches to complete common modeling tasks.
