Water 130: Waterworks Mathematics
This text introduces basic mathematical principles related to drinking water distribution and treatment systems and wastewater treatment plants; including areas, volumes, pressure, flow rates, unit conversion, chemical dosage, detention time, and filtration rates. Focuses on mathematical computations within the expected range of knowledge on the State Water Resources Control Board exams for Drinking Water Distribution 1 & 2, Drinking Water Treatment 1 & 2, and Wastewater Treatment 1 & 2.
