Learners enrolled: 1203
Pollution is one of the major problems that affect biodiversity, ecosystems and human health worldwide by contaminating water, air and soil. Among all types of pollution, water pollution is a major global concern and problem that kills people in significant number each year. The aim of this course is to discuss different type of pollutants and design & operation principles of different water treatment systems. This course covers other topics like water collection systems, water quality analysis and principles of water supply systems also in detail.
