I’m a hydrologist supporting a 3 MGD surface-water plant and I need 8 CEUs by June 30. I’m looking for accredited courses that tie treatment decisions to water resource management — reuse (IPR/DPR), drought-driven source shifts, and brine minimization — with practical tools operators can use. If you’ve taken something that also covered energy footprint tracking or reservoir-operations coordination, which provider would you recommend?
I got my 8 CEUs last spring with AWWA’s online potable reuse and drought resilience courses — good IPR/DPR tie-ins to ops, a brine minimization case, and a simple “kWh/MG by process” tracker you can copy that felt more cookbook than textbook. Quick tip: set blend triggers in specific conductance and keep a one-page operator rule card for drought source shifts. Just confirm your board accepts AWWA CEUs and dates: https://www.awwa.org/Events-Education/Online-Learning.
I took a course on brine minimization last year, and they taught us how to assess the energy footprint during treatment processes, which was super helpful. It’s like trying to balance a checkbook while juggling water — just don’t drop the ball! @elijah1820 might have some insights, too; he was part of that session.
