Objectives:
Address concepts related to water management and pollution control in urban areas, as well as the design, construction, operation and rehabilitation of facilities and structures for the treatment of water, wastewater, rainwater, water treatment sludge, and sewage sludge and urban solid waste management.
Skills:
1. Recognition and understanding of integrated water management in urban areas, including the characteristics, methods, and technologies for water treatment for public supply, as well as the management of sludge from Water Treatment Plants (WTPs);
2. Mastery in the design, sizing, implementation, and assessment of the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and sewage sludge management systems;
3. Recognition of solid waste typologies and understanding of their physical characteristics, treatment technologies, management strategies, and recovery processes.
