Welcome to the Department of Environmental Technology (Natural Resource Management) & Water Quality Management at RRCC

3D Learning in the Water Quality management Program

The Water Quality Management program just completed an intricate visual educational display for their Water Distribution class (WQM 109). A model of a fictional community was created to physically demonstrate a variety of distribution areas of concern, including:


This is a scaled down model of a city to help students demonstrate distribution areas of concern.

  • Traffic control with mainline work
  • Source water contamination sources
  • Multiple storage and tank management
  • Fire hydrant flushing
  • Hydraulic dead ends
  • Sample locations and protocol
  • Grid systems
  • Water shed
  • Cross connections
  • Confined space equipment

The department is very excited to add
this unique teaching tool to the program
which will be available to students for the
Fall 2010 semester.
