This is a hands-on demonstration class for engineers, water/ wastewater plant operators, water distribution operators, and wastewater collections system operators. The students will work in small groups (4-5 people per group) and the learn the basics of hydraulics in the distribution/ collection system, what system control valves do and how they work. They will proceed to the mobile distribution system lab learn how control valves are applied, how they work internally and how to maintain them.
