Overview
Local water shortages are a recurring problem in many parts of the U.S. and throughout the world. As the population continues to grow, the problems will only increase. Thus, it is important to properly plan water use projects to ensure that the system is capable of meeting the users' demands for many years to come.
In this course the student will review Chapter 4, "Water Quantity Requirements" of EM 1110-2-503, "Design of Small Water Systems" published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This course is most relevant to engineers involved in designing both public and private water systems. Although the publication's title suggests coverage of only small water systems, the document also discusses large municipal water supply system design.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
