AE 6560 - Water Reuse Design

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

This course will explore the expanding field of water reuse systems. Both centralized and decentralized systems will be studied. The full range of non-potable reuse, indirect potable reuse, and direct potable reuse will be explored. Students will be expected to design a water reuse system for either a centralized or decentralized scenario. Lectures will focus on water treatment technologies as they are typically applied to water reuse systems.  (prereq: graduate standing)

• Identify the socio-economic factors that lead to water reuse
• Analyze water quality needs and match those needs with appropriate water treatment technologies
• Evaluate alternative technologies and treatment scenarios for a water reuse system based on local, economic, and technological factors
• Design a water reuse treatment system for use in a realistic situation
• Present a design report to alieve typical fears associated with water reuse systems
