Effective Leakage and Pressure Management (EL313)
Course Length: 2 Hour / 0.2 CEU*
Course Description: Course participants will learn about the harmful impacts of leakage on system operations and the excessive costs it creates. The rapidly advancing technologies of proactive leakage control and pressure management are giving water utilities the tools they need to keep leakage contained. It is critical that water utilities control leakage in their water distribution systems and this course provides detailed guidance on this activity.
Learning Objectives:
• Explain how leakage occurs in water distribution systems and the problems leakage causes
• Describe how leakage imparts direct and indirect costs on water utility operations
• Define proactive leakage management and its key activities
• Identify the ways to detect leaks and pinpoint them
• Assess your system’s pressure levels and potential for improved pressure management
• Determine the best actions to cost-effectively monitor and control leakage in your system
