The Aqualibrium Challenge is
used by universities across the
world to teach pipe network
hydraulics and design.

Students first solve the Challenge using hydraulic network theory and software before physically building and testing their designs in the laboratory.

This activity gives students insights into hydraulics, pipe network design and the application of computer network models in engineering practice.

It also creates opportunities to expose students to advanced mathematical problems and classical network optimisation challenges such as the New York Tunnels problem.

A great way for school students to
have fun while learning about
water!

For primary school students, the Aqualibrium Challenge creates an opportunity to learn about how water gets to our taps, the urban water cycle and the importance of water conservation and environmental protection.

In secondary school, this learning is deepened and expanded to include specific concepts in physics, mathematics and environmental sciences.

The Aqualibrium Challenge demonstrates the importance of STEM subjects in real-life applications, and exposes students to careers in science and engineering.

The Aqualibrium Challenge is suitable for all ages and can be used for team building, educational activities or just for the fun of it!

No prior knowledge is required and novices are able to compete against experienced teams or even water supply experts in no time.

See what happens when you change the pipe layout or diameters! Use the background artwork to identify the urban water components and problems in your own suburb! Think of ways to protect your local water resources and environment!

Or just have a great time with friends and colleagues!
