Civil EIT - Water Distribution - ( 240003IY ) **Description** Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries.
