Water providers are scrambling to replace aging infrastructure and retiring Baby Boomers while maintaining ecologic quality and integrity.rnThese issues are compounded by water stressors such as increasing demand, climate change, population growth, and increasing pollution. Training programs that provide technicians with the skills and knowledge needed to design, implement, and evaluate water conservation programs are not yet available in higher education, even though conservation programs are often mandated.
