Curriculum
Assessment: 50% coursework, 50% exam
This module covers five distinct areas of study:
- Fundemental hydrological and water quality parameters common to all branches of hydrology and environmental technologies.
- Links between concentration, flow and load in regard to solutes and suspended particles.
- Fundamental flow processes in rivers and the means of gauging flows, including methodologies concerning estimates of extreme high and low flows.
- Water quality and quantity issues associated with reservoir management, including some common principles associated with assessing reservoir yield and water supply.
- Principles behind management of ground water resources, including those of hydrogeology and flows through porous media. This section also covers the legal framework of the UK water industry.
Water Treatment Technology
Assessment: 50% coursework, 50% exam
This module explores the links between drinking water characteristics and treatment plant design. It critically evaluates a variety of treatment technology options and suitable plans for treatment processes according to varying water characteristics and international drinking water quality standards.
It also investigates the principles governing disease control through sustainable water treatment technology in developing countries and explores the process of risk management through the application of Water Safety Plans.
Wastewater Treatment Technology
Assessment: 50% coursework, 50% exam
This module addresses the characteristics of wastewater and how variations in flow rate are dealt with. It explores wastewater treatment theory and practice, and the treatment and disposal of wastewater sludge.
It also considers both advanced wastewater treatment technologies and low-cost wastewater treatment and sanitation options for developing countries; it does so in the context of global and local societal and environmental needs.
Water Analysis
Assessment: 100% coursework
This 20-credit module investigates the principles of safe and accurate environmental water sampling through a local field-based case study. It explores methods for the analysis of the physical, chemical and biological components of water quality and covers approaches to analysing complex data sets.
