Applied Math for Water Distribution, Treatment, and Wastewater Operators, by James L. Gates, assists students who have not used math for years to dust off the "math cobwebs" and relearn the basics before diving into applied water-related math problems.  The purpose of this text is to assist these individuals in using the essential formulas commonly encountered in the industry so that they may progress in their chosen career path.

This text features:

  • Decimal point placement
  • Unit dimensional analysis
  • Geometric shapes and volumes 
  • Simple instructions
Water Distribution test problems typically encountered on state licensing examinations, and state certification program criteria
