5. Excursion to the selected water storage tank
6. Centrifugal types of pumps, the basic pumps curves
7. The proposal of basic pumping system - pumps, transmission main, water storage tank
8. Suction side of the pump, energy usage, efficiency and optimization of pumping stations
pump operation
9. Booster pumping stations, pumps with variable speed
10. Water hammer, protection against the water hammer, cavitation
11. Pressure reducing and control valves, technical audit of pumping stations.
12. Excursion to the selected pumping station
13. Producers of the pumps, databases of the pumps
