Water Distribution Operator I - CSU Sacramento Manual

Cards I'm adding as I go through the manual to help with things like distance and pipe specifics.  I'm beginning with entering 1 page of vocabulary and (maybe) 10 pages of information from each chapter at a time.  And maybe after sitting down to do this 50 times, I'll learn something!
