THESE ARE "NOTES!" These "notes" are specifically designed to be summaries of the various water and wastewater treatment process units, etc. I am using sentence fragments, and such, to be as specific as I can in capturing important elements related to each process without writing a novel.  These are meant to be downloaded, printed out, and used as the skeleton or framework of your own notebook when studying for certification exams, etc.

The Operator Notebook Chapters are arranged on this index as "Water Treatment," "Wastewater Treatment,"  & "Related to All."  Please also note that these are also linked to the Overview Schematics.
