Learning outcomes

After completion of the course, the student should be able to

  • identify suitable fresh water sources for municipal and industrial use
  • construct of flow diagram containing the principle processes for surface water and groundwater treatment in the production of drinking water
  • suggest treatment methods for fresh water extracted from groundwater and surface water
  • explain the basic principles of a distribution network for drinking water with distribution from a water work to one or more reservoirs.
  • describe how a water distribution network and a reservoir interact, primarily during a day and from day to day,
  • explain the basic principlies of a sewer system, including combined and duplicated sewage distribution networks.
