Goals
Furnish the student with basic understanding of the characterization process of water and wastewater
streams and the selection of best available treatment methods. Apply theories and knowledge gained from
previous courses in water resources and environmental engineering in the design of municipal water and
wastewater treatment plants. Design of physical, chemical and biological treatment units; sewers; sludge
processing and disposal units; water reuse; and advanced treatment units.
