From Soils Classification to Hydrogeological Implications The understanding of soil and the movement of effluent through it is critical in onsite wastewater management. Designers planning onsite systems need to know soils classification and hydrogeological movement and their interconnected relationships to ensure proper design. If not fully understood, the implications in wastewater management can be extensive and costly.

Pressure Distribution workshops provide instruction on how to plan a pressure distribution system.  Students will learn how different sizes and types of pipes and pumps affect the pressure distribution system, how to calculate friction loss and pressure head and how to plan a system that takes into account the loading constraints of the site it
