 Course objectives
Course objective is to ensure that the student can evaluate different
water resource options for their sustainability, quantity and quality, and
design water and wastewater treatment plants

Learning objectives
1. Identify and evaluate water resources for their quantity, quality and
sustainability,
2. Identify and evaluate pollutants that need to be removed from water or
wastewater,
3. Identify, evaluate and design appropriate collection systems for water
supply schemes,
4. Determine the kinds of treatment processes that will be required for
treating different types of source waters and design them,
5. Design water distribution networks, and
6. Evaluate the extent and kind of treatment required for wastewater
depending on where it is to be discharged, and design appropriate
treatment units.
