CVE 6711 - Receiving Water Quality Analysis and Modeling3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course examines the impacts, fate, and transport of contaminants in riverine, lacustrine, and marine environments. It focuses on calculating the dispersion and decay of contaminants in water ecosystems, assessing whether water quality standards are satisfied, and devising approaches to meet water quality standards. (prereq: CVE 3201, CVE 3701) (quarter system prereq: CV 310, CV 320)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain how water quality criteria for surface waters are developed
- Analyze the fate and transport of conservative and decaying contaminants in river and still water environments using advection/dispersion models
- Devise approaches to address total maximum daily load limits to streams
- Evaluate approaches to achieve water quality compliance through mixing zones
