Learn to design real municipal water and wastewater systems — hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater, water/wastewater treatment, groundwater, flood control, and dams.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
The hydrologic cycle, rainfall-runoff methods, and watershed delineation.
Bernoulli's equation, pipe friction loss, and the hydraulic grade line.
Detention/retention design, green infrastructure, and NPDES permitting.
The drinking water treatment train and design criteria.
The treatment train, activated sludge, and effluent standards.
Aquifer types, Darcy's law, and well hydraulics.
Floodplain mapping, flood control structures, and FEMA flood zones.
Manning's equation, normal/critical depth, and culvert hydraulics.
Looped vs. branched layout and network hydraulic analysis.
Booster and lift stations, pump selection, and wet well design.
Dam types, spillway design, and dam safety considerations.
BOD, DO, turbidity, and water quality standards.
The Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and permitting.
Water reuse, energy efficiency, and green infrastructure.
Hydrologic/hydraulic modeling and calibration against real data.
Design standards, capacity planning, and civil coordination.
Real diagnostic scenarios covering common real water/environmental problems.
A capacity upgrade with a full treatment-train hydraulic check.
A new activated sludge plant sized for a target population and flow.
A detention system sized to attenuate peak flow to a target release rate.
A looped network sized for domestic demand and fire flow.
A spillway capacity check and reservoir water quality assessment.
12 real project templates — a hydraulic calculation summary sheet, design criteria summary sheet, detention/retention pond design worksheet, NPDES permit compliance checklist, water quality sampling log, pump station data sheet, treatment plant startup and commissioning checklist, submittal log, RFI template, punch list, an as-built documentation checklist, and an O&M manual outline. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample hydrologic/hydraulic model files and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
