Course Description: The world’s endless thirst for water has put great strains on the earth’s fresh water sources, restricting the natural water cycle from replenishing them. Thirsty World will explore how Agriculture, Industry, Human demands, and this country’s aging infrastructure have created these strains. We will discuss new government regulations which preserve water, observe design and product solutions to save both water and energy, and discover the technology that is driving performance in water saving products.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to identify how Agriculture, Industry, Human consumption and Aging Infrastructure are effecting the replenishment of water sources in the United States.
- Examine both national and state regulations on water use and the new requirements for plumbing products that are specified for residential and commercial use.
- Learn how low flow does not mean low performance. Observe how technology and advanced engineering has enhanced the performance of water and energy saving plumbing products.
- Discover how much water and energy are saved by specifying plumbing products that meet or exceed Water Sense guidelines.
