Water Quality Control

Students will learn that water is an absolutely fundamental ingredient to life. However it is difficult to obtain desired amounts of water of sustainable purity in many locations. Therefore, a sustainable future will depend upon learning stewardship of water resources: (1) to understand the natural water cycle, its capacities and its limitations; (2) to understand how we are overdrawing certain water resources and the consequences of this action; and (3) to understand how water must be managed if we are to achieve sustainable supplies. This course deals with the inventory and management of our surface and groundwater resources. Environmental technologists will be able to detect, describe and quantify the types and effects of common aquatic pollutants both in the field and in the laboratory. They will apply regulatory sampling procedures for analyzing common physical, chemical and biological indicators of surface and groundwater quality.
