This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Water Ageing Analysis. It covers the components and operation of water distribution systems; the fundamentals of water ageing and chemical properties of water; the physical and hydraulic properties of water systems; the microbiological considerations in water ageing and the regulatory standards for water quality; the sampling and monitoring strategies, laboratory analysis for water ageing and the use of tracers in ageing analysis; the computational models used to simulate water age; and the geographic information (GIS) for mapping and analyzing water distribution networks.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the system design and operational practices to reduce water age; the water storage to minimize ageing; the pipeline materials and water ageing; the active water quality management and biofilm formation; the emerging technologies in water ageing management; the impact of climate change on water ageing; the renewable energy sources; the data analytics and machine learning algorithms to predict the water ageing in distribution systems; the public health implications of water ageing; the water ageing management plan; and the latest equipment used in sampling, monitoring and analyzing water quality.
