Course description
In Water Pollution and Its Control, you'll learn ...
- The effect of oxygen-demanding wastes on rivers
- How biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is modeled
- The three interrelated programs under the RCRA
- How to assess the capability of a stream to absorb a waste load
- The various methods for control of water pollution
Overview
Credit: 2 PDH
Length: 35 pages
In this course we will define TMDL, BOD, COD, and DO and explain the effect of oxygen demanding wastes in water pollution. We will learn how to determine BOD5 in the laboratory, BOD reaction rate, k with graphical method. We will also derive the BOD model and DO sag curve equations using first-order kinetics and solve several example problems.
