Course Description: -
Course Objectives: The student is expected to be able to identify, characterize and quantify different kinds of water sources, estimate water demand, design structures for water intake, treatment, storage, and distribution. He should also be able to identify different sources of wastewater, characterize and quantify the wastewater and design of major sewers.
