Course Overview

An integrated approach is taken, starting from upstream (on the watershed) and going downstream (towards the receiving waters in the natural environment). This module is divided into three parts: (i) water quality (ii) Waste Water Treatment using bioprocesses (iii) Water Treatment using Physical and Chemical means.
This module is organized around courses and tutored work. It includes applications concerning biogeochemical modeling of rivers and sizing of different unit processes in order to treat water.

A project helps to synthesize and link the different topics taught in this module in a more integrated way. These tutorials and project correspond roughly to 30% of the module (including 20 hours of personal work in addition to classical course sessions)
