The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) launched a new water management e-learning course designed to help Federal agencies better manage water resources and meet water efficiency requirements.  

The water management e-learning course introduces key elements of water resource management, planning, and implementation, providing a comprehensive overview across the following 11 modules:   

• Legislative Overview

The online course was developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) using materials from a two-day FEMP classroom course as well as interactions with and feedback from Federal energy/facility managers, industry experts, and equipment vendors.  [s1]The link should go to the main page of the training so that folks can create an account to log onto the training.  If they don’t log on, we can track who takes the course.
