This session begins with a brief review of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping with an overlap in leveraging GIS for planning and tracking operations related to water loss.

Next, the training will give an in-depth overview of leak detection equipment (correlators, loggers, and acoustics) with case study examples and technical capabilities/limitations.

This training will highlight how GIS mapping data can support leak detection efforts, record non-revenue water (NRW) through real water loss examples (hydrant flushing/leak reporting) and target apparent water loss by tracking service meter replacements.

GIS Mapping and leak detection efforts are gaining momentum in public water utilities, yet it can be challenging to know where to start and focus efforts to achieve actionable results. This training will help build confidence and skills with real examples to start leveraging mapping software and leak detection hardware for water loss. There will be a pre-test, quizzes, and a post-test during this workshop.

ENLACE DE REGISTRO

En Puerto Rico existen alrededor de 242 sistemas de agua rurales operados por miembros de la comunidad. Con la creciente preocupación creada por la frecuencia e intensidad del nivel de sequía en la isla, nos preguntamos ¿están los acueductos comunitarios preparados para prevenirla, enfrentarla y poder seguir llevando un servicio confiable y seguro hacia sus consumidores? La realidad puede impactarle. Por lo tanto, hemos creado un taller con ese enfoque en el cual discutiremos estrategias para atender el tema de una sequía, antes y durante un evento. Cubriremos tópicos tales como: control de perdida de agua, susceptibilidad de una cuenca hidrográfica, estrategias de protección y redundancia de fuentes de agua. Este taller tiene como propósito capacitar a los administradores de los sistemas comunitarios para que podamos mejorar la calidad de agua y prevenir enfermedades dentro de sus comunidades.
