Water system operators use mathematics to make key operational decisions. Math is also used in planning system maintenance, laboratory analyses, keeping records and estimating budgets. It is important for the operator to have an understanding of math fundamentals along with the technical concepts of water system operations.

By reviewing the math principles presented in this text and linking these principles to water system concepts, the operator can better understand and solve math related problems. This Handbook presents common water system problems and the methods used to solve these problems.

Math Handbook for Water System Operators is a valuable resource in preparing the operator for math problems given on licensing examinations for water treatment and water distribution operation. Typical exam problems are solved in an easy to understand, step-by-step format.

If you are a water systems operator responsible for providing safe drinking water to the public, you commonly use mathematics to calculate process parameters and make operational decisions. Math is also used in performing system maintenance, recordkeeping and budgeting.

Water system operators are familiar with the technical concepts of water system operation but may not be familiar with the math principles used to solve common water system problems.

This Handbook provides the tools necessary for the operator to be successful in solving the math problems encountered in daily operations and the math problems given on licensing examinations for water treatment and water distribution system operation.

Over 150 basic math and water system problems are presented and solved in a step-by-step, easy to understand approach.
