Description
This one day course will outline vulnerabilities affecting source water with a focus on solutions to mitigate the impact through planning, operational changes or upgrades.
For any given community, source water may have a number of vulnerabilities arising from:
-various weather-related events
-long term climate change events
-various industrial and commercial activities in the watershed, and
-natural hazards such as tornados
A number of communities have faced unexpected events such as hydrocarbon spills and were challenged to maintain minimum public services during these events. Therefore, understanding these vulnerabilities and opportunities to plan and mitigate impacts through operational and other upgrades are paramount to maintain the water supply during these potential events.
This course is presented by Lalith Liyanage, Ph.D., P.Eng. of WSP Group, a globally recognized professional services firm as well as the owner of Aqualta School of Operator Training.
The CEUs from this course can be used toward the following discipline(s) for certification renewal:
• Water treatment
