Quality of Drinking Water
Course Description
Water is life, Water is essential for human consumption, and the quality of drinking water directly impacts public health. Drinking water quality is of paramount importance for maintaining human health and well-being. Water is vital for maintaining proper hydration, which is essential for the optimal functioning of the human body. Drinking sufficient amounts of clean water helps regulate body temperature, lubricate joints, transport nutrients, support digestion, and flush out waste products. Poor water quality can hinder the body's ability to perform these functions effectively and may lead to dehydration. Water analysis helps identify potential contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and heavy metals that can cause waterborne diseases. By ensuring water quality through regular analysis and control measures, the risk to public health can be minimized. Governments and regulatory agencies set water quality standards and guidelines to protect public health and the environment. Water analysis is essential for ensuring compliance with these regulations.

This course is designed for professionals involved in ensuring safe, clean drinking water through proper sampling, analysis, and regulatory compliance:

    • Water Quality Analysts & Laboratory Technicians
    • Public Health Officials & Environmental Scientists
    • Municipal Water Treatment Plant Operators
    • Environmental & Public Health Engineers
    • Regulatory & Compliance Inspectors
    • Field Sampling Technicians
    • Rural & Community Water System Managers
    • Industrial & Bottled Water Producers

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions as well as case studies will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer.

The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share developing the right answers using their analysis and experience.

Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.
