    I think that creating and using flash cards is an incredible tool for ingraining the knowledge when studying for your water treatment or distribution exams. A major stray from my normal show type, this week will basically be a “study guide on the go” for people testing for a Treatment Exam. Think of this weeks show as audio flash cards… which is essentially what it is.

    Knowing your water math is a huge step in passing any state exam. Those that know it have a huge step up and those that don’t are often doomed to fail. Unfortunately, finding information to teach water math in a clear and easy way can be difficult. This podcast will discuss my views on water math. It will also introduce my beginning and advanced water math courses, and explain why I am absolutely confident that they can help even those who feel most lost to master these subjects.
