Environmental Engineering: Drinking Water Treatment (edX)

Offered by Seoul National University, SNUx,
Environmental Engineering: Drinking Water Treatment (edX)

Understand what makes water clean or dirty and what are being done at water treatment facilities to make water safe to drink. This course will cover fundamental science and engineering principles dealing with natural and water environmental systems. First, we focus on what influences water quality and what are sources, characteristics, and effects of water pollutants. Second, we will explore the basic chemical concepts needed to understand how pollutants may change their forms and influence water quality.

Explore why and how people come together to care for nature and community in cities and after disasters. The actions of ordinary people are often absent in studies of urban renewal and urban ecology. Around the world, people who are fed up with environmental degradation and the breakdown of their communities come together to transform blighted vacant lots, trashed-out stream corridors, polluted estuaries, and other “broken places.”
