Course Contents
By this lecture, you will be acknowledged for the generation and distribution of the water in the earth, hydraulic conversion of the water, the constituents that defines the water quality, changes in the water quality and environmental problems. In the content of this lecture, the physical, chemical and biological properties of the water; physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters; quality criterion of drinking, watering and service water will be studied. You will also have knowledge of the contamination that these contaminants will produce in the surface and groundwater and the legal regulations that are in force in our country which have been published for the purpose of water quality and water contamination control.
