WATERBURY, Conn., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Known throughout Latin America for its customized water resources solutions, Haestad Methods today announced the details of its latest tour to the region. Beginning on June 3, the tour promises to attract more than 500 clients from the continent's leading water utilities and consulting firms, who are eager to participate in the presentations, localized training, and on-site visits.
Haestad Methods will launch the tour by showcasing its complete suite of water, storm, and sanitary sewer modeling software at the Aquatech Fitma Brazil exposition in Iberapuera, Sao Paulo on June 3-5.

Training will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil on June 9-13; Mexico City, Mexico on July 21-25; and Bogota, Colombia on September 1-5. Participants will earn an A+ Modeler Certificate for each two-day course completed on water distribution and sanitary sewer design and modeling. Following each set of training sessions, Haestad Methods will sponsor an Open House, where attendees have the opportunity to view demonstrations and presentations on cutting-edge technologies for water resources modeling.
For over a decade, Haestad Methods has provided its Latin American clients with customized products and services including Spanish and Portuguese versions of WaterCAD(R) water distribution modeling software and on-line discussion forums.
