This course focuses on managing sewage, stormwater, and solid waste to protect the environment and
public health. It covers how to design systems for handling sewage, including stormwater runoff, and
how to treat wastewater using different techniques. Students will also learn about solid waste
management, from collecting and treating municipal waste to handling hazardous materials.
The course emphasizes the importance of recycling, waste reduction, and proper disposal methods to
prevent pollution. It also covers the role of government agencies in regulating water supply, sewage
disposal, and pollution control. By the end of the course, students will have the knowledge to design
environmentally-friendly waste management systems and understand the legal regulations involved.
