This course is based on a primer that contains various water quality contaminant fact sheets and related fact sheets containing supporting information. The purpose of the contaminant fact sheets is to provide timely and accurate summations of water treatment principles and techniques for various water quality contaminants of concern. The fact sheets are intended as a first source of information for small communities or communities of low economic status which typically do not have the resources to hire water treatment consultants.
Topics: Water treatment acronyms, abbreviations, and glossary Cost Assumptions Raw Water Composition Total Plant Costs WaTER Program (Cost Program Description) Additional data (Fact Sheets) on the 25 top water contaminants: Chemical Data Source in nature SDWA Limits Health Effects Removal Techniques USEPA BAT Alternate methods of treatment Safety and Health requirements Intended Audience: water treatment, hydraulic, mechanical, civil, environmental, and construction engineers and other engineers whose job description may require a basic knowledge of treatment and removal of potable water contaminants.
