2012 March/ 7-9 and 26-28 - IAM training for AWARE-P end-user utilities

Benefiting from the availability of the Aware-P software, two courses on infrastructure asset management of urban water services will be available during March (7-9 and 26-28), for the staff of the utilities that took part in the project as end-user partners. More details can be found on the Portuguese-language section of this site. (course materials, in Portuguese)

2011 Jan-Apr - Course on Infrastructure Asset Management of Water Services

The AWARE-P training course on infrastructure asset management (IAM) of water services combines two goals: to introduce the topic to members of the water industry and technical communities, in particular management and graduate technical staff of water utilities; and to offer a more detailed training to those in charge of planning and implementing IAM systems. More details can be found on the Portuguese-language section of this site. (course materials, in Portuguese)

The AWARE-P vision

AWARE-P aims at providing water and wastewater utilities with the know-how and tools needed for efficient decision-making in the scope of infrastructure asset management of urban water services.
