Important Notice:

This course has been prepared with a specific audience in mind: learners looking for general knowledge about drinking water, importance of safe water and process of drinking water treatment … and does not delve into engineering design and calculations of water treatment.

That’s why:

- The course is suited for the non-specialist and provideshigh-quality and concentrated knowledge about the importance of safe drinking water and how drinking water treatment works.

- The course is not suited for professionals, engineers and researchers looking for calculations and designs of drinking water treatment processes.

- (No artificial intelligence tools (chatgpt, generative ai, prompts ..) were used in the development of this course, I believe this is important for providing an original learning experience for students).

Who this course is for:

• Sustainability Professionals
• Consultants
• ESG professionals
• Anyone curious about rinking water treatment..
