Professional Component ContributionThe students are required to collect water samples using appropriate techniques and then analyze the samples for commonly found parameters using procedures from Standard Methods. The students are also given a hypothetical city of a certain population and raw river water quality and they are asked to prepare a preliminary design of a water treatment facility including a pumping station, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection that will meet the Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.XI.

Catalog DescriptionCE 431/431L Water Supply Engineering (3/1)Water pollutants and unit process treatment. Subjects include water quality, water uses, aeration,sedimentation, coagulation, flocculation, filtration, softening, disinfection, iron and manganese removal,and saline water conversion. 3 lectures/problem-solving, 1 three-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: CE 332II. Required Background or ExperiencePrerequisite: CE 332 – Hydraulic Engineering III. Expected Outcomes1. That the student understand the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of potable water.2. That the student understand the sources/causes of contaminants in clean water.3. That the student be familiar with the Safe Drinking Water Act and it’s Amendments so he/she knows whatrequirements must be met before a drinking water can be sent to the customer.4. That the student learn how to collect water samples and analyze them in our water quality lab.5. That the student understand the causes and effects of eutrophication in a lake.6. That the student know the beneficial uses of water.7. That the student understand the operation and design of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration,disinfection, activated carbon, and softening.8. That the student be familiar with the processes used for saline water conversion.IV.
