Electronic Workshop

Welcome to the Drinking Water Academy's Electronic Workshop. The Workshop contains three types of information:

The self-paced training modules give a broad introduction to the many facets of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Although live training courses are the best training experience, DWA's limited budget can only support a small number of classes each year. Through the Internet, the DWA can reach many more people with SDWA information based on our training courses.

State, Tribal and EPA Regional staff can access the training modules at any time.  They can view them on-line or download them for later review. In addition, water system operators, college students, professors, and others in the drinking water community have the same access to these materials. The DWA invites all interested parties to freely use these DWA materials. With few exceptions (e.g., copyrighted graphics we have reproduced only with permission) DWA modules are in the public domain and may be downloaded, reproduced, and modified for your own use.

The short presentations are intended primarily for the use of Federal and State regulatory staff.  These presentations provide a quick overview of proposed and final rules.  They can be used as a starting point for preparing briefings or other information materials.

Finally, the Workshop provides links to other pages in OGWDW's Web site where you can obtain regulatory and implementation information.

The training materials and presentations are in PowerPoint® (PPT) and/or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (You candownload free viewers for these files at http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx Exit EPA Disclaimerand http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.htmlExit EPA Disclaimer, respectively.)
