Short Course on Water Supply

Presented by:
Prof Stefano Mambretti, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
3–15 September 2022
New Forest, UK

The course will be presented by Prof Stefano Mambretti from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Prof Stefano Mambretti works in the field of Hydraulic engineering as a researcher, designer and consultant in many countries in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia.

The course will explain the already established methodologies, to show the results carried out by the research group at Politecnico di Milano and their application in real cases related to optimization, the search for leakages and sectorization, in order to develop a procedure that goes beyond the simple models so far available
