This course provides information of interest to planners and designers of small water systems. Such systems generally cannot benefit from economies of scale, and proper management and operation are critical to produce satisfactory finished water quality. The major emphasis of this course is on the design of systems that will be effective and reliable, requiring a level of operation and management activity commensurate with their physical size and available sources Topics: An Introduction to small water systems Preliminary planning and design Water quality requirements Water quantity requirements Water sources Water treatment Pumping, storage, and distribution Groundwater and surficial supplies Intended Audience: water treatment, hydraulic, environmental, chemical, electrical, mechanical, energy, civil, construction and other engineers whose job description may require a general knowledge of small-scale portable water treatment systems.
