This on-demand course provides an in-depth study of:

• Basic Hydraulic Principles: Definitions of force, pressure, and static versus dynamic pressures.

• Pressure and Head Relationships: How water height relates to pressure, and calculations involving pressure units and head.

• Flow and Velocity Calculations: Using area and velocity to determine flow in pipes, with examples converting units to GPM (gallons per minute) and CFS (cubic feet per second).

• Piezometers and Hydraulic Grade Lines (HGL): How piezometric surfaces are used to measure pressure in pipelines and how HGL behaves under static and dynamic conditions.

• Head Loss: Understanding friction losses in pipes, fittings, and valves, including the use of Hazen-Williams roughness coefficients (C-Factors).

• Pump Theory: Key pump terminology including static suction head, total dynamic head (TDH), and horsepower calculations necessary for system design and troubleshooting.

• Surge Control and Water Hammer: Identification of hydraulic surge causes and methods to minimize system shock events.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Understand the historical development and structure of drinking water regulations.

• Define and apply key terms such as MCL, MCLG, MRDL, and TT.

• Describe the regulatory processes for setting drinking water standards.

• Identify different types of contaminants (inorganic, organic, microbial, and radiological) and associated health risks.

• Understand the Total Coliform Rule (TCR) and Revised TCR, including assessment and corrective action requirements.

• Navigate California-specific regulatory structures and primacy under SWRCB.

• Recognize compliance standards for disinfection by-products and lead and copper monitoring.
