It is a basic course for the study and operation of water purification and disinfection units to meet the water needs of a population of settlements or cities.
The subject matter of the course aims at introducing students to the basic concepts of water purification, assessing the drinking water needs of a population, alternative water treatment and disinfection systems for water supply, and gaining experience in basic laboratory analyzes and purification processes.
Finally, the aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge and skills so that qualified civil engineers can use them in their professional careers, either as consultants or constructors of water treatment plants, or as responsible to operate such units.
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
• Understand and use the physicochemical properties of water.
Understand the difference between infection and pollution.
• Assess the population’s drinking water demands and designs water purification and disinfection systems.
• Recognizes the drinking water of good quality from its typical ingredients.
• Know basic processes and alternative water treatment technologies.
