The course covers key topics such as water demand estimation, steady-state hydraulic analysis, extended-period simulation (EPS), pressure-dependent analysis, water distribution network modelling, and the analysis of transmission mains and pumping systems. Participants will also learn to interpret simulation results, evaluate network performance, and identify potential hydraulic deficiencies.
The course also introduces relevant Indian water supply design guidelines and standards to help participants understand their application in water distribution system planning and analysis.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to develop and evaluate water distribution network models in US EPA EPANET; perform steady-state, extended-period, and pressure-dependent hydraulic simulations; analyse transmission pipelines, pumps, and valves; interpret simulation results under different operating conditions; assess network performance; and identify practical responses to hydraulic deficiencies. These skills will be developed through hands-on exercises and industry-relevant case studies.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for professionals and aspiring engineers looking to develop or enhance their skills in water distribution network modelling and hydraulic analysis using US EPA EPANET. It is particularly beneficial for professionals working with municipal authorities, water supply departments, engineering consultancies, construction management companies, and contracting firms, as well as field engineers, academicians, researchers, and graduate engineers involved in water supply and transmission systems.
About the software
EPANET is a widely used software application developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for modelling and analysing water distribution systems. It enables engineers to simulate the hydraulic behaviour of pressurised pipe networks and track the movement and fate of water quality constituents within distribution systems.
EPANET is used for a wide range of applications, including the design and analysis of new water distribution infrastructure, assessment and rehabilitation of existing networks, optimisation of tank and pump operations, reduction of energy consumption, and investigation of water quality issues. It can also support the evaluation of contamination scenarios, emergency response strategies, and network resilience against natural disasters and other potential threats.
