EVT525: Water Resource Technology / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of water resource technology. Students will state, write, and explain the fundamental principles behind the various steps in water quality monitoring, treatment processes, pollution of water resources and its protection. Students will also be introduced to sampling and data analysis procedures, quality control and quality assurance besides the calculation of the water quality index and its interpretation. The designated lecture session is used to discuss various water resource technologies
and practices. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and active learning (self and peer discussions). Students will perform evaluation of surface water, via standard sampling and preservation procedures, as well as standard analytical techniques and wet chemistry during the practical sessions and will verbally and in writing discuss the results and relationships with peers and facilitator. The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, tests, written assignment and oral presentation, laboratory reports and classroom engagement.
