Effective Leakage and Pressure Management to Contain System Leakage for Small Systems

Online - for Small Systems only

EL294 is for small systems only.

Objectives

  • Explain how leakage occurs in water distribution systems and the problems leakage causes.
  • Describe how leakage imparts direct and indirect costs on water utility operations.
  • Define proactive leakage management and its key activities.
  • Identify the ways to detect leaks and pinpoint them.
  • Assess your system’s pressure levels and potential for improved pressure management.
  • Determine the best actions to monitor and control leakage in your system.

Description

This course is part of an eLearning program made possible through the collaboration of the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Partnership for Safe Water.

Course participants will learn about the harmful impacts of leakage on system operations and the excessive costs it creates. The rapidly advancing technologies of proactive leakage control and pressure management are giving water utilities the tools they need to keep leakage contained. It is critical that water utilities control leakage in their water distribution systems and this course provides detailed guidance on this activity.
