Above ground parking accessible off West Broadway Parking lot height restriction is 6.6 feet.

Do not waste another dollar on hydraulic modelling until you attend GeoAdvice innovative training session: "Hydraulic Network Modelling of Water Distribution Systems". The water distribution modelling training begins with the basics of hydraulic theory as it applies to water distribution modelling, then takes participants through more advanced topics such as working with multiple scenarios, model calibration, pump selection, energy cost studies, extended period simulation, fire flow analysis, and water quality. Participants will become familiar with EPANET and use the software to reinforce concepts with the workshop problems.

Finally, at the end of the training session, participants will have the opportunity to play the Aqualibrium competition to test their newly acquired skills in hydraulics. The Aqualibrium competition is a fun way to learn about the complexity of network hydraulics. The aim of the competition is to distribute three litres of water equally between three reservoirs (containers) placed randomly on a grid of 16 points. Participants will build a pipe network between a water source and the three reservoirs using pipes of different diameters.
