Prerequisites: BIOL 202 and 305.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Water and water resources are critical issues for the sustenance of nearly every society on Earth. The elements of water quality resource management include: the generation of pollutants that reach natural systems and cause water quality problems; treatment for removal of those pollutants; analysis of fate, transport, and effect of those pollutants in the receiving water; development and application of water quality standards; and the regulation process by which desired water quality levels are maintained. the latter element is the focus of this course. Water agencies at the local, state, regional and federal levels are mandated by law to manage water resources. Therefore, crucial discussions will be initiated with regard to water supply, water quality, and drought management issues and problems. Complex interrelationships between population growth, geography, climate, and technology provide the basic underpinnings for the history, development, management, and policy of water resources around the world.
