About Rainwater Harvesting Certification Training

Module 1 - Design and Installtion - (Length 2 hours - Workbook Provided)

With every rainwater harvesting system being unique, understanding the design and installation aspects is essential;

• Project overview and Site analysis
• Demand volume calculations based on end uses
  
• Catchment potential based on climate data
  
• Cistern sizing for operations and for other uses (fire, SWM, infiltration, etc) - Conveyance system sizing calculations
  
• Distribution components and calculations (sizing)
  
• Water treatment, sanitation and purification options and requirement
  
• System operations and management
  

Module 2 - Water Quality - (Length 2 hours - Workbook Provided)

Rainwater is non-potable directly off the roof and how do we make is safe and clean to use. 

• Demand uses (end uses for rainwater)
  
• Risk Mitigation and End Use Tiers (CSA B805-18)
  
• Water Safety Plan overview and examples
  
• Cistern sizing calculations
  

Module 3 - System Components - (Length 2 Hours) 

This module covers a plethora of aspects pertaining to all rainwater systems: - Catchment surfaces and suitability for rainwater harvesting

• Conveyance materials and routing
  
• Filtration prior to storage
  
• Storage cisterns and related equipment
  
• Distribution equipment from pumps to water treatment

Module 4 - Irrigation with Rainwater Harvesting - (Length 2 Hours - Workbook Provided) 

• This module covers irrigation system requirements as one of the most suitable uses for harvested rainwater:
  
• Irrigation demand use types and End Use Tiers (CSA B805-18)
  
• Risk Mitigation and End Use Tiers (CSA B805-18)
  
• Irrigation volume source data
  
• Catchment potential based on climate data, Cistern and system sizing calculations, Natural precipitation on irrigated areas
  
• Irrigation system components: Pumps, filters, backflow prevention Controls, valves and switches o Pressure and flow calculations, Drought and additional use scenarios.
