Summary
The course is focused on problems of water from the point of view of legislation as well as on ensuring the optimal supply and required quality of both surface and ground waters according to the corresponding standards. Students will learn the assessment of pollution criteria for surface and ground waters together with methodology for calculation of emission limits. The technological part of the course is devoted to problems of remediation and purification of ground and filtration waters using physical, chemical and biological methods.
