So, you have your water well built (see RedVector.com''s 'Basic Civil Engineering -Water Supply' course), now what are you going to do with it? This 1 hour online course takes up where 'Water Supply' leaves off;  it takes you through sizing a pump, hydropneumatic tank and supply lines. This course gives the steps needed, along with examples, to move water from your source (well, lake, river or whatever) to the tap. The typical water supply, be it for a cabin or a city, has pumps, storage vessals and distribution systems. This course takes you through each item in the system. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end.
