Water and Waste Water Engineering

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. recognise the processes for the treatment of both surface and groundwater; 2. develop design criteria necessary for the designs for water and wastewater treatment unit operations and processes; and 3. design water supply and distribution systems including storage and pumping systems; 4. explain the design procedure and process of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal.
