Water Supply 15 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course introduces the basic principles of residential and small-scale commercial rainwater harvesting system design. The design process includes choosing system components in the most cost effective and advantageous manner. It is intended to serve as a first step in consideration of the use of rainwater harvesting systems. The information in this course may be useful in planning and sizing of rainwater harvesting systems.

Rainwater harvesting is an ancient technique enjoying a revival in popularity due to the inherent quality of rainwater and interest in reducing consumption of treated water.  Rainwater collection has numerous benefits such as free supply, low mineral and sodium content, reduction in non-point source pollution, and reduced demand on water utilities.

This 6 PDH online course is intended for use by civil and environmental engineers, design professionals, construction personnel and others interested in learning about the best management practices for rainwater harvesting.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to design criteria for treated water storage requirements for domestic, industrial and firefighting water supply systems; describes typical design analyses for elevated tanks, standpipes, and reservoirs; and provides guidance on the procedures to be followed in selecting sites for such storage works. The course covers requirements for treated water storage in the distribution system, but not the storage requirements for raw water supplies or fire deluge systems.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil and mechanical engineers and other infrastructure design and construction professionals who want to learn about the basic technology, design guidelines and materials and equipment used for storage of treated water.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to maintenance inspections and general maintenance services required at domestic water supply systems.  It includes information about tools and equipment, lubricants, and materials and supplies required to perform general and specific equipment maintenance tasks.

Regular inspection of equipment is part of an operator’s routine duties to ensure proper functioning of the system. Such inspection includes lubrication, minor adjustments, and renewal of parts that do not require major overhaul or repairs. The operator’s inspection also entails detecting and reporting (to the proper authority) any abnormal conditions (appearance, leaks, unusual noises, etc.).

This 5 PDH online course is intended for civil engineers and operations and maintenance personnel wanting an introduction to operation and maintenance of domestic water treatment systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the reader to the essential methods for designing water efficient landscaping.

Providing an adequate supply of fresh water to our ever growing population is reaching a critical stage.  The World Bank reports that water shortages threaten the health and economy in 80 countries.  With dwindling supplies, the cost of this precious resource is bound to increase.  In response to the declining supply of fresh water, many conservation efforts have been focused within homes and businesses.  Efficiently managing our outdoor use of water can also yield a significant savings to our net water budget.

Designing water-wise landscapes can result in many benefits.  The conservation of our vital water supply is the most obvious.  Water saving landscapes can also decrease energy use, water bills, erosion, and maintenance costs. Some up front thoughts built into the design of landscaping features can save thousands of gallons of water in the long run.  Knowing the key design and maintenance considerations for low water use landscaping is essential for the successful conservation of our most precious resource.

This 1 PDH online course is intended for homeowners, practicing engineers, contractors, developers, regulators, and all other personnel involved with the design, installation, and maintenance of landscaped areas.
