Water Quality analysis
    Course Description
       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.
    Course objectives
       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
    Who should attend?
