Recycled water distribution systems are expanding and connecting new customers as demand for recycled water increases. Some systems are aging and understanding their limitations is becoming more important. In this session, you'll learn how one agency developed a calibrated model to understand pressures, capacity, and to optimize operations and maintenance.

Learning Objectives:

Justify and explain at least 3 benefits for developing a calibrated recycled water model.
List at least two ways that pressure transients can occur in a distribution system.
Plan their own similar projects with a more informed understanding of the level of effort required.
