SYNOPSIS
This course is designed to expose the students to water treatment technology. Topics discussed include basic water quality requirement, water characteristics, water treatment process and supply, and design of unit water treatment systems. For design of water treatment system, it will cover the design of unit treatment operation. Other than treatment methods, the course also discuss on the water distribution.
