Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 21 - Water Distribution
Achieved badges:
Q: What is a result of pressure zoning?
A: The booster pump and most of the network will operate at a higher pressure
Q: What is a result of pressure zoning?
A: The main station and most of the network will operate at a much lower pressure
Q: What is a result of pressure zoning?
A: The main station and most of the network will operate at a higher pressure
Q: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
A: The control valve will open to maintain the minimum network pressure
Q: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
A: The control valve will close, stopping water from entering the network
Q: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
A: The control valve does not respond to network pressure
Q: What is unique about the algorithm used to manage pressure with DDD?
A: It is self-learning
Q: What is unique about the algorithm used to manage pressure with DDD?
A: It determines the pressure setpoint
