    Description
    This course is a study of drinking water and wastewater utility systems. Water quality is examined from the perspective of chemical and microbiological measurements and standards, impact on public health, and federal regulation. Sources of water supply including surface water, groundwater, and imported water are compared based on their availability and quality. System design, pipe materials, water storage, and water quality impacts are studied for both water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Finally, the basic technologies used at conventional drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment facility are presented.
