About This Training
One of most important skills that water treatment and distribution operators need is the ability to solve water math problems. In this workshop we will begin with an outline of water math basics, starting with a quick review of conversion factors and calculations for tank and pipe volumes. Along the way we’ll study formulas on static well levels and head pressures, then building the simple problems into compound math formulas for chemical dosing. Materials will be provided that relate to CA Waterboards Grade I and 2 certifications. Extra time will be devoted to working on practice problems together on each topic, further honing your operator math skills.
