Small Water Systems - Water Quantity
Requirements
Edward Brunet, Jr., P.E.
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.
