Course Description

Hydraulics is very important in the water supply systems. Water in motion produces forces and pressure whenever the velocity, flow direction or elevation changes. Identifying the pressure and flow at a certain point of the pipe, helps determining the pipe size and capacity. In addition, it helps to identify the type of pipeline material needed in a specific situation. Furthermore, possessing a good knowledge in hydraulics helps managers to decide whether the water pressure reducers or pumps are necessary for transporting water in an effective manner. This training course will cover the basic concepts of hydraulics in the water supply system, from the source to water taps.

Target Group

This training course is developed for professionals of  water supply and sewerage utilities and it is especially useful for engineers and technicians.

Objectives of the Training Course

At the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

• Know the basic priciples of pressure;
• Calculate the pressure in bar and kPa;
• Identify pressure losses;
• Identify friction losses;
• Identify losses at pipe fittings;
• Understand  and calculate pump horsepower and efficiency;
• Calculate the flow rate;
• Identify the flow measuring devices.
