Tuesday, August, 10, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
Discover how HAMMER can help you reduce pipe breakages caused by high- or low-pressure transients (water hammer). See how HAMMER helps engineers identify the areas where breakage is likely to occur and select appropriate surge protection devices to minimize breakage risk.

Leverage workflows with water distribution modeling and AutoCAD integration
Thursday, September 9, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
Using water distribution modeling product directly within AutoCAD helps existing AutoCAD users be more productive when analyzing and designing water distribution systems. Not only can they leverage existing CAD drawings, but they can also conduct the hydraulic modeling work within a CAD platform they are already familiar with.

Pond design from start to finish with PondPack
Tuesday, September 21, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
Learn how PondPack's PondMaker guides users through the  pond and outlet design process, by providing an easy step-by-step interface that gives constant feedback on how the design is progressing.

Real-time modeling to optimize water distribution systems
Tuesday, October 5, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
Learn how to apply WaterGEMS tools, such as SCADAConnect and Darwin Calibrator, to make water modeling a reliable decision support tool to optimize water distribution systems.

Integrated modeling techniques for water loss reduction and hydraulic model calibration
Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
This seminar will present innovative modeling technology and a number of successful case studies that have helped regulated water utilities and government agencies to detect leakage hotspots. They also demonstrate how energy has been saved and the carbon footprint reduced in addition to the direct benefits of improving water network infrastructure.

Automated storm sewer redesign in CivilStorm to prevent flooding
Tuesday, November 9, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET
See how CivilStorm can help prevent flooding by analyzing an existing storm sewer system to identify potential capacity problems and automatically resizing undersized pipes.
