This Environmental Engineering course provides a detailed introduction to essential water treatment processes and distribution systems used in civil and environmental engineering. It focuses on the physical and chemical methods used to ensure safe and reliable drinking water supply.
The course begins with an overview of water quality, explaining the key parameters used to assess the safety and usability of water resources. It then introduces aeration, a process used to improve water quality by increasing oxygen levels and removing dissolved gases and impurities.
A major part of the course is dedicated to sedimentation, where suspended particles in water are allowed to settle under gravity, forming a crucial step in water purification. The course also covers coagulation and flocculation, which are chemical processes used to aggregate fine particles into larger clusters for easier removal.
In addition, learners are introduced to water distribution systems, explaining how treated water is transported efficiently and safely from treatment plants to consumers. This includes understanding pressure management and network design principles.
By combining theory with practical engineering applications, this course helps learners understand how clean water is produced and delivered in real-world systems. It is ideal for civil engineering students, environmental engineers, and any
