Learning pathway
The objective of this Learning Pathway (LP) is revealed through Units of Learning Outcomes that deliver trainees with basic facts about drinking water unit operations. They overview all physical, chemical, biological, and mechanical processes that are comprehensively described. The feasibility analysis of drinking water supply is defined. The fundamental issues of residual management are focused on: the type of residuals, the regulatory requirements for their management, technical details of basic treatment and disposal options.
The learning goals are achieved through presentation of training material within the following Learning Outcomes (LOs):
- Unit operations for producing clean drinking water;
- Selection of water treatment process;
- Residual management.
