The designs of network system require a variety of specialized engineering knowledge. A wide range elements, types, severe environmental conditions, and rapid degradation of materials are there and represent many challenges to the owners and designer. Different demands and consumptions are also there. This course takes you deeply in the scientific approach of how to take care of the complicated process of co-coordinating all of these issues, Water Network Design.

Municipal engineers, engineering and public works directors, city engineers, superintendents of operations, water distribution system managers, infrastructure managers, safety inspectors and procurement officers from municipalities, consulting engineers, technicians and technologists, and contractors and other individuals who need a basic understanding of water distribution system design and are currently employed in the water distribution management field.
