This course provides information of interest to planners and designers of small water systems. Such systems generally cannot benefit from economies of scale, and proper management and operation are critical to produce satisfactory finished water quality. The major emphasis of this course is on the design of systems that will be effective and reliable, requiring a level of operation and management activity commensurate with their physical size and available sources
Topics:
An Introduction to small water systems
Preliminary planning and design
Water quality requirements
Water quantity requirements
Water sources
Water treatment
Pumping, storage, and distribution
Groundwater and surficial supplies
Intended Audience: water treatment, hydraulic, environmental, chemical, electrical, mechanical, energy, civil, construction and other engineers whose job description may require a general knowledge of small-scale portable water treatment systems.
