Comprehensive Water Management Training provides Federal sector facility and energy managers with the knowledge and skills to assist in meeting water-related legislative and executive order requirements. Learners will develop skills in increasing water efficiency and reducing water use through sound operations and maintenance practices and water-efficient technologies. Several methods for meeting needs for non-potable water through alternate water sources, such as rainwater harvesting, reclaimed wastewater, and gray water are discussed. Water metering is discussed as well as life-cycle costing and establishing the overall economics for strategic water management.
