AWWA Water 101, Security Planning, and Partnership for Safe Water Online Courses

Water 101: Water 101 introduces students to the principles of water treatment and distribution as well as plant operations and management. This course also provides awareness-level information on drinking water regulations and security. The development of Water 101 was made possible by a grant from the USEPA.

This series consists of the following courses: Security Planning for Drinking Water Systems: An Operational Approach, Emergency Response Planning, and Security Hardware.

Partnership for Safe Water Series: AWWA and the Partnership for Safe Water have developed the online course Optimizing Performance Using Turbidity Data.
