COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Water Quality Management. It covers the water quality management framework, key physical parameters, chemical parameters, biological parameters and interactions between physical, chemical, and biological factors; the sampling methods and tools, laboratory analysis techniques, field measurement techniques and data recording and analysis; the regulatory standards for water quality; and the sources of water contamination and water quality management systems. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the water treatment processes, coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation and filtration, disinfection and chlorination as well as desalination and advanced treatment technologies; the types of residuals generated, residuals disposal and reuse strategies; the environmental impact of residual disposal and compliance with environmental regulations; the water distribution system design, water quality in distribution systems, hydraulic modeling and water quality; the  corrosion and scaling in water distribution, water quality monitoring in distribution networks; and the emergency response for water quality issues. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the health impacts and environmental impacts of water quality; the integrated water resources management (IWRM), water reuse and recycling; the sustainable practices in water quality management and risk assessment and management in water quality; the impact of climate change on water quality and changes in precipitation patterns and water contamination; the climate resilience strategies in water management, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies; the remote sensing and drones for water quality monitoring, artificial intelligence and machine learning in water management; the importance of public communication in water quality issues and effective water quality communication strategies; and engaging the public in water conservation and quality management.
