Description

In the first course in this 'Water Distribution' Series, you learned how to make your water distribution system operational. Now what are you going to do with it? This 1-hour online course is part two of the series and picks up where the first course left off, guiding you through sizing a series of pipes. The course gives you a step-by-step description and includes an excel spreadsheet that helps explain the 'nitty-gritty'. You'll take into account a variety of components including gate valves, fittings and meters, which are all common elements in water distribution systems.
