Module title:Water Supply and Distribution Management
Module codeECMM133
Module lecturers:Prof Raziyeh Farmani
Module credits:15

With the world's population expanding rapidly and pressures mounting from increasing industrial development and urbanisation, the right balance between water consumption and supply from limited natural water resources is becoming ever more important.

The module will provide you with the theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of classical and contemporary issues related to the management of water supply and distribution systems. You will learn about different types of water sources, how to build, calibrate and use various models to optimally (re)design and/or operate water distribution systems. Furthermore, you will learn how to use manage pressures, leakage, demands and water quality, all in an integrated risk-based asset management type framework with the aim to identify more sustainable and resilient solutions to practical, real-life problems.
