The UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, an international institute for water education that was established in 2003, is conducting a course on Groundwater Resources and Treatment from 2-20 March 2009 in the Netherlands.
The course is aimed at providing participants with theoretical background and practical expertise in the field of groundwater abstraction and treatment.
The course will help participants to:
- Understand theory of groundwater flow including geohydrological investigations and development of production wells
- Be familiar with drinking water quality parameters and related standards, and with different methods for water quality analysis
- Understand basic drinking water treatment processes
- Have expertise in conventional and advanced groundwater treatment.
- Ground Water Flow and Recovery: Theory of groundwater flow, Darcys law, confined and unconfined aquifers, geohydrological investigations, development of observation and production wells
- Water Quality and Treatment: The use of water, water-born diseases, drinking water quality parameters and standards, introduction to water treatment processes, disinfection, removal of ammonia, colour, taste and odour, quality of groundwater, removal of iron manganese and nitrate, aggressive characteristics of water
- Advanced Groundwater Treatment: Advanced concepts in the removal of iron, manganese, arsenic, fluoride, methane, hydrogen sulphate and nitrate
- Computer Exercise Groundwater Treatment: Computer programmes will be used to optimise design of conventional groundwater treatment plants and examine the applicability of adsorptive iron removal
- Laboratory Course on Water Chemistry: Colorimetric analysis of ammonia, phosphate, pH measurements, acidity, alkalinity and hardness, determination of chlorine in water, breakpoint chlorination, iron, arsenic, fluoride and nitrate analysis, iron(II) oxidation
- Excursion: Field visit to groundwater treatment plants in The Netherlands.
Course Fee: €2250
