Course Introduction:
Water quality plays a pivotal role in environmental health, human safety, and regulatory compliance. With increasing global concerns over water pollution, industrial effluent, and the sustainability of clean water sources, the need for accurate and reliable analytical methods has never been more critical. This course provides a comprehensive overview and hands-on training in the analytical techniques used to evaluate the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water and wastewater.
Participants will explore standard methods such as those developed by APHA, EPA, ISO, and ASTM, and gain practical laboratory experience using modern analytical instruments such as spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrometers, and TOC analyzers. The course also emphasizes quality assurance practices, proper sampling techniques, and compliance with environmental regulations and discharge limits.
Whether dealing with potable water treatment, industrial effluent, or environmental monitoring, this course equips professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to ensure water safety and regulatory adherence.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the Principles of water and wastewater composition, contamination sources, and treatment processes.
• Identify Key Parameters used in water quality assessment (physical, chemical, biological, microbiological).
• Apply Standard Methods (e.g., APHA, ISO, ASTM, EPA) for the analysis of water and wastewater samples.
• Carry Out Proper Sampling and Preservation techniques to ensure data integrity and compliance.
• Operate Laboratory Instruments such as UV-Vis Spectrophotometers, AAS, TOC Analyzers, and others.
• Perform Analytical Tests for parameters such as pH, turbidity, COD, BOD, TDS, nutrients, heavy metals, and microbiological indicators.
• Ensure Quality Control in analytical results through validation, calibration, and method verification.
• Interpret Analytical Results and relate them to environmental and health standards.
• Generate Accurate Reports in line with regulatory guidelines.
• Enhance Compliance Capacity for environmental management and pollution control.
Who Should Attend:
• Environmental Scientists and Engineers
• Water Utility Professionals
• Laboratory Technicians and Analysts
• Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators
• Public Health Officers
• Regulatory and Compliance Officers
• Industrial Hygiene and Safety Officers
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control Officers
• Researchers and Academics in environmental sciences and water resources
• Consultants in environmental assessment and management

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
