James has been a member of the California Bar since 1996 and spent over a decade in business operations management before making the switch to engineering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James\u00a0is heavily involved in the SWEFC\u2019s curriculum design and development activities and has designed or co-designed workshops,\u00a0and in-person and online\u00a0trainings on asset management, water loss control and water loss auditing using the AWWA Water Audit Software and M36 Manual in specific.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the Asset Management arena James focusses primarily on the Current State of the Assets (inventory) and Criticality (risk analysis) core components with a heavy emphasis on data collection techniques and GIS analysis.<\/p>\n
Water loss related trainings cover the entire water audit process, from data acquisition through results interpretation,\u00a0and\u00a0focus on helping small systems: understand the value of water\u00a0auditing;\u00a0develop\u00a0policies, procedures and data collection expertise necessary to produce good audit\u00a0results;\u00a0and make\u00a0data-driven decisions when developing and implementing water loss\u00a0controls.\u00a0 Water\u00a0line break\u00a0data is an area of\u00a0particular interest, and\u00a0James\u2019 trainings emphasize the collection, storage and interpretation\u00a0of main and service line break data using both open source and proprietary GPS\/GIS data\u00a0collection\u00a0tools, as well as the roll that mapping and\u00a0data analysis play in the water audit process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Working under the EPA\u2019s\u00a0WaterCARE\u00a0and Small Systems managerial and financial capacity assistance programs, James has provided in-person training and direct technical assistance to a variety of small water systems in the US and American Samoa.\u00a0 He has also provided training and direct technical assistance to systems of all sizes in New Mexico under the contracts from the New Mexico Environment\u00a0Department.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
James\u00a0has experience preparing and interpreting AWWA M36 compliant Water Audits for small and large water systems and built a software tool to help systems determine data validity grades for each of their Water\u00a0Audit\u00a0data\u00a0inputs.\u00a0\u00a0 He also assists water and wastewater systems with financial and O&M analysis, asset management, inventories and geolocation, as well as developing maps and performing risk and lifecycle analysis using GIS\u00a0and other tools.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
