This is the curriculum for a 40-hour course developed to train people to work in water and wastewater treatment facilities.

The curriculum has been designed to be presented in eight modules: a basic math refresher; fractions, decimals and percents; measurement conversions; linear, area and volume calculations; solving equations; chemical measurements; hydraulics; and wastewater and electricity.

Each module begins with a list of objectives, explaining what the student will be expected to know upon completion of the unit.

While most of the units are designed to be taught by the instructor, the authors note that some can be studied by the student on his own.
