Description
Water quality varies from location to location, and the definition of potable water can vary with locality. Most water treatment facilities use filtration as an important step in their water treatment processes, and some smaller municipalities might use a slow sand filtration as their only treatment method.
This course will examine the treatment of water via filtration: what is filtered out of the water we drink, what are the different types of filters available, and how do those filtration methods work? We will also survey the regulatory requirements for potable water as set forth by the EPA, examine some of the most common pollutants, and look at a few case studies regarding specific filtration problems and the unusual solutions that have sometimes been reached.
