The water and wastewater industry relies heavily on electricity and other fossil fuels to provide the energy necessary to treat drinking water and wastewater. This course will provide an understanding of the alternative, renewable energy sources that are available for use at water and wastewater facilities. It will also include a discussion of key engineering and other factors needed to adopt some or all of these alternatives as energy sources.
In this course, the instructor will go over the book Alternative Energy For Dummies by Rik DeGunther, and will highlight the important topics related to the engineering aspect. The book is available in your local library or from Amazon.com or Barnes & Nobles for your future reference. You may also be able to find an electronic version from e-bookstores on the Internet or as a Kindle version from Amazon.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
