Course Description

This module provides an applied review of corrosion-control strategies used in drinking-water distribution systems, with emphasis on interpreting water-quality trends and adjusting chemical treatment for system stability. Learners learn how pH, alkalinity, hardness, and inhibitor chemistry influence corrosion behavior, along with practical steps for maintaining long-term control. Casework and sampling-program design examples help operators strengthen regulatory compliance under the Lead and Copper Rule.

Learning Objectives

1) Explain corrosion fundamentals

2) Adjust corrosion control treatment

3) Interpret water quality indicators

4) Integrate sampling into planning

5) Apply optimization strategies
