TE0299 : Water Quality Modelling

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Water-Energy Nexus and Water Efficiency. It covers the key concepts and water-energy nexus including global and regional significance; the role in sustainable development and challenges in resource interdependency; the water use in power generation, cooling technologies and water demand; the water footprint of energy production and desalination energy needs; the energy requirements for water supply, wastewater treatment and energy consumption, pumping, distribution and desalination and energy audit in water systems; and the integrated resource management, water supply infrastructure and energy use in water systems. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the desalination technologies and energy use; the efficiency measures in water supply including benchmarking and performance monitoring; the energy recovery in RO systems, wastewater energy reuse potential, heat exchangers, pressure turbines and financial evaluation of recovery systems; and the water use assessment, water efficiency technologies, process optimization for water efficiency and leakage control and reduction. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the utility best practices, water-efficient design and retrofitting; the regulatory frameworks, water-energy pricing and cost recovery; the sustainability and SDG integration and economic evaluation of efficiency projects; the incentive and funding mechanisms, policies for future development, digital transformation in water-energy nexus and advanced water efficiency technologies; the renewable energy in water systems; and the risk assessment, resilience planning and drought management strategies.
