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.
