Note: CPD commenced in January 2006 whereby all professional engineering persons are required to obtain 25 credits
over a 5 year cycle, with a minimum of 3 credits per year, for renewal of registration with ECSA from 2007. This
course is a Category 1 activity and offers 4 credits. A maximum of 4 credits may be accumulated under this category per
year. For more details see www.ecsa.co.za
WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COURSE 2015
SCOPE
This four day course on Water Resource Management has been structured in collaboration with the
Department of Water Affairs and Sanitation and various consultants. The course deals with the basic
principles used in water resource management, but also provides practical tips for the more
experienced practitioners, which will be demonstrated during tutorial sessions. The course will expose
participants to the need for the development of both surface and groundwater resources and will use
the newly developed WR2012, as well as the Water Resource Yield Model, as basis to demonstrate
the available techniques, specifically the use of stochastic data. Attention will also be given to
specifically catchment management aspects, such as the newly CMA structures and the associated
strategies and catchment water quality issues, while gap filling of rainfall and the accuracy of flow
data from flow gauges will also be dealt with.
