Introduce concepts of water quality to water professionals. Build a comprehensive awareness of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of various water systems. Learn ways to improve water quality through management and control of chemically, physically and biologically polluted waters. Learn up-to-date knowledge and skills on significant of water analysis and quality control techniques included evaluation and analysis of laboratory data results.

This course designed for Supervisors, chemists and technicians responsible for water quality in plants.
