The course provides a framework and knowledge of the issues, aspects and principles in water quality management. Good quality water is necessary for domestic, environmental, industrial, recreational and agricultural uses. For those working in water analysis and management, it is important to understand the rationale and be competent in the characterization of water quality in natural systems and the human activities that result in contaminant input to these systems. This includes the physical, chemical, biological and hydrological characteristics of water systems in junction to water quality management issues.
Introduce the concepts of water quality to water professionals. Build a comprehensive awareness of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of various water systems. Learn ways to improve water quality through treatment and management of chemically and biologically polluted waters. Recognize role of water quality guidelines and legislation in water quality management. Provide a practical understanding of the significant of water quality.
