Water and Wastewater Engineering ENG415
Introduction
This unit is wrapped around natural water cycle, and includes background knowledge about the water cycle components in the urban environments. The main objectives of the unit are to develop the knowledge & understanding, skills and attitudes associated with water, wastewater and stormwater distribution/collection and treatment systems, and to assess the environmental impacts of water/wastewater systems not operating up to standards. The topics include water and wastewater and stormwater collection/distribution and treatment systems, water sensitive urban design, design criteria, by-product management, legislation around managing water in the urban environments.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Identify and explain the concepts of sustainability as applied to water engineering
- Describe the important characteristics of commonly applied water and wastewater treatment processes and understand alternative technologies (physical, chemical and biological) that may be used as effective treatments for domestic and industrial wastewaters
- Design the major components of water and wastewater treatment systems
- Critically evaluate the existing water systems in terms of feasibility and sustainability and propose improvements
