Modules

Wastewater Treatment Technology Assessment: 40% coursework, 60% exam This module provides a review of the key processes involved in wastewater treatment processes focussing on examples in the UK and draws upon international and developing national water reuse technologies key to shaping future development of many water sources. The module assesses both fundamental principles of technologies and key aspects of their design and implementation. Water Treatment Technology Assessment: 40% coursework, 60% exam This module explores the links between drinking water characteristics and treatment design and implementation. It critically reviews the key processes involved in water treatment focusing on examples in the UK. And draws upon international and developing national water reuse technologies key to shaping future development of many water sources. Hydrology and Pollutant Transport Assessment: 100% coursework The module introduces the fundamentals of surface and groundwater hydrology, focusing on precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, discharge, groundwater recharge, groundwater storage, and groundwater flow. Pollutant transport dynamics are explored with a focus on anthropogenically derived pollutants in surface and groundwaters. The module places these topics in the context of the structure of the UK water industry, international legal and policy frameworks and integrated catchment management. And provides essential skills for careers involved in science, engineering, environmental and water sectors. Water Quality Analysis Assessment: 100% coursework This module enables you to design, perform, analyse and report on appropriate quantitative research and operational studies in the field of water and environmental management. At the end of the module you will have practical skills in water quality data collection through analysis in the field and through laboratory practical sessions in the Centre for Aquatic Environments laboratory suite. You will be able to manage large datasets, perform statistical analysis in Minitab statistical software and critically interpret results.
