WATER INDUSTRY FUNDAMENTALS

Water use globally extends into many different applications, ranging from food and agricultural production to industrial and electricity production. Whilst on one hand the value of water in this array of applications tends to be evaluated based on economics alone, its real value is a different concept. Water is irreplaceable, its applications are limitless, and life cannot exist without it. In addition, the failure of overall coordination between the different stakeholders is the main reason behind water waste and misuse.

It is therefore of critical importance that all professionals in the water industry are aware of the basic and most up-to-date principles and rules that apply to water use, including HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) and legal considerations.

By the end of this Water Industry Fundamentals training course, the participants will be able to:

• Understand the diversity of water usage applications worldwide
• Develop the skills to determine the suitability of water for different applications
• Analyse the risks and restrictions that apply to water use and make appropriate decisions
• Understand the basic water treatment techniques and where to apply them
• Develop a good understanding of the concepts of water chemistry and microbiology
• Understand the legal and HSE requirements that relate to water use and reuse

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals in the water industry, but will greatly benefit:

• Project managers
• Professionals involved in the regulatory monitoring of water quality
• Engineers involved in the monitoring and maintenance of water systems in the Process Industries
• Professionals involved in the drafting of guidelines on water quality
• Process engineers in Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs)
• Professionals responsible for water systems in the Healthcare sector and the Hospitality industry
