Overview
For whom?
The Groundwater Resources and Treatment course at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education is designed for professionals active in the sector of drinking water supply, including but not limited to teachers, operators, engineers, scientists and employees of Ministries of Environment and/or Infrastructure (and similar).
Learning objectives
- Assess if given groundwater is aggressive against materials used in water supply system and propose appropriate neutralisation methods.
- Explore advanced groundwater treatment approaches applied in The Netherlands and in Belgium for removal of emerging pollutants.
- Describe importance of groundwater as a source for drinking water production and assess overall quality of a given groundwater.
- Establish appropriate treatment approach for groundwater containing commonly occurring impurities and pollutants (iron, manganese, ammonia, fluoride, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide and nitrate).
Programme Structure
Groundwater (GW) presents more than 95 % of Earth’s liquid freshwater, thus being a much bigger source of water than surface water. Aquifers provide natural protection from contamination, making GW:
- cleaner | safer than surface water;
- mainly pathogens-free,
- having constant | good quality.
Consequently, drinking water production from GW requires low capital and operational costs. It is also available close to demand points, which makes it the major source of drinking water in developing world.
However, developing countries lack the knowledge | expertise to exploit GW for drinking water production. Overcoming this challenge is the main goal of this course.
