Course Content
The course will cover some of the key challenges faced by wastewater treatment professionals today including:
* Many of the wastewater treatment and collection facilities are now old and worn, and require further improvement, repair or replacement to maintain their useful life;
* The character and quantity of contaminants presenting problems today are far more complex than thos that presented challenges in the past;
* Population growth is taxing many existing wastewater treatment systems and creating a need for new plants;
* Farm runoff and increasing urbanization provide additional sources of pollution not controlled by wastewater treatment, and
* One third of new development is served by decentralized systems (e.g. septic systems) as population migrates further from metropolitan areas.
