Water Supply and Treatment Systems: Technology and Sustainability

This course provides a comprehensive overview of engineering approaches how to protect water quality. Class begins with brief introduction to hydrological cycle. More in detail groundwater flows (Darcy eq.-n) and flows into wells are examined. Principles of hydraulics are presented. Open channel and river flows, flood routing and preventing are presented. Freshwater and wastewater treatment technologies, together with advanced water treatment processes, are evaluated. Course ends with the visit to a local wastewater treatment plant. Prerequisites: CHEM 0330 and ENGN 0040 . Recommended ENGN 0810 .
