Basic Water Analysis/Drinking Water

Drinking Water Analysis Syllabus

This workshop is designed to teach proper analytical techniques for the analysis of potable water. Analytical technologies covered in the workshop will be: microbiology, particle monitoring, colorimetry, and testing parameters associated with quality system. The course objectives will be met by presenting test theory, incorporating practical applications of analytical techniques with "hands-on" experience with testing systems. Students are required to analyze water samples of known and unknown values.
