Preparing for Technical Training: Essential Skills for Water/Wastewater Operators - Glossary of Terms

Series: Preparing for Technical Training: Essential Skills for Water/Wastewater Operators

Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)

This glossary is one of the resources for a 40-hour course designed to train people for jobs in water and wastewater treatment facilities.

It includes definitions both for mathematical terms like "area" and "fractions" and for terms related to the wastewater sector, like "grit channel" and "detention time".

The glossary also provides several useful pointers, including the steps in solving a problem; the order of operations for solving an equation; and the rules for rounding numbers.
