Continuing from the introductory material in CIVL 370, this course describes the engineering aspects of the provision of potable water, and the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater in the urban environment. Topics include the quality of water supplies and the characteristics of wastewater; estimation of water consumption and sewage generation; the chemical and physical treatment of water for drinking purposes; design of water distribution and wastewater collection systems; physical, chemical and biological wastewater treatment; and effluent and sludge disposal. Alternative urban development strategies are discussed (i.e. water conservation and urban reuse). The laboratories illustrate basic analytical methods which provide data for design of these systems.
