Water Quality Specification

This is a first course in understanding water and its treatment. What is Quality Water, What is the demand for Water, and What processes are available for treatment of water and contaminants.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Obtain and apply knowledge on water quality specifications
• Develop preliminary plans for water resources and identify the courses and the quality of the water required for municipal, agricultural and industrial uses
• Discuss the physical characteristics, properties and flow of water including laminar flow, tubular flow and etc.
• Understand water, water contaminants and its importance in public health and environment

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for planners, engineers, scientists, biologists, and others interested in water resources, water use and the treatment and use of water.
