Course Description

Leak detection is a fundamental component of water system management. In many regions, a significant portion of treated water is lost before it even reaches consumers. This not only wastes a valuable resource but also increases the cost of water supply. Early detection plays a crucial role in minimizing these losses, preventing infrastructure damage, and ensuring efficient system performance.

What you'll learn in this course?

• Explain the significance of leak detection in sustainable water management systems

• Identify and classify different types of leaks in pipelines and distribution networks

• Analyze the root causes contributing to leakage in infrastructure

• Apply appropriate leak detection techniques based on system conditions

• Evaluate modern technologies such as IoT and SCADA for monitoring

• Design effective repair and maintenance strategies to minimize losses

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of water-distribution systems and pipeline infrastructure

• Familiarity with engineering maintenance concepts is helpful
