Water Resources Training for Western Pacific Islands (week long training, each year)
As part of WERI's information dissemination activities, the Institute provides annual funding for water resources outreach activities in the Federated States of Micronesia and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marinas islands. Primary audiences are water utilities personnel and professionals in related disciplines. They receive broad instruction on locally and regionally important water quality and water quantity issues including water distribution systems, pump maintenance and repair. I teach the function, operation, and maintenance portions of the water distribution systems training.
Training on Water System Modeling using MWH Soft H2oMAP and Haestad WaterCAD (CEU, 6 credit hours)
This course covers hydraulics fundamentals, pipe flow and network hydraulics, pump performance modeling, fire flow analysis, and modeling of various water distribution systems.
