This course provides a structured introduction to water quality and treatment processes in environmental engineering. It is designed for students who want to understand how clean drinking water is produced and how water distribution systems are managed.

The course begins with the fundamentals of water quality, explaining key parameters used to evaluate safe and usable water. It then introduces aeration processes, which are essential for improving water quality by removing dissolved gases and contaminants.

A major part of the course focuses on core water treatment operations such as sedimentation, coagulation, and flocculation. These processes are used to remove suspended particles and improve water clarity before further treatment.

The course also covers filtration systems, explaining how physical barriers and media are used to remove fine impurities from water. In addition, it introduces water distribution systems, which ensure that treated water is safely delivered to consumers.

Throughout the course, learners gain insight into how different treatment stages work together to produce safe drinking water that meets environmental and health standards.

By the end of this course, students will understand the complete water treatment process and the engineering principles behind designing and operating water treatment systems.
