PRODUCT

WaterNet Advisor

This course gives you a general overview of WaterNet Advisor and its advantages. In concrete, you will get a kick-start in hydraulic modelling and receive a step-by-step introduction to the tools available in WaterNet Advisor.

WaterNet Advisor is a Web-based interface to your hydraulic model. Available in the Cloud, it allows you to register your own hydraulic model, edit data, run simulations, and browse results from your tablet, smartphone, laptop or desktop. WaterNet Advisor characteristics: (i) you can instantly access your hydraulic models; (ii) no special expertise is required; (iii) you can work in the field and have online control.

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?

Are you a consultant, engineer, or a utility operator with some basic understanding of water supply and water distribution?  Are you interested in getting a kick-start in hydraulic modelling and wish to become acquainted with tools available in WaterNet Advisor? If yes, you can benefit from this free, self-paced course.

WHAT ARE MY EXPECTED OUTCOMES?

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to start using WaterNet Advisor to obtain instant answers to hydraulic conditions of water distribution systems.

LEARNING METHODOLOGY

Each module includes a video illustrating the steps to complete a specific assignment. It will take you around one hour to complete the course at a time that fits your needs and requirements - and from the comfort of your own office, home or any location convenient for you.
