This course moves pond design principles to a new generation, from simple volumetric sizing, to designs incorporating temperature process equations, non-smelly anaerobic ponds of one day retention, hydraulic design and algae removal in the final effluent. Recent work has shown that ponds are capable of producing a 5:10:5, BOD:SS:NH3 mg/L effluent whilst achieving less than 100 Escherichia coli per 100ml. Learn how to exploit this knowledge for your pond systems. This is a practical course, and participants will undertake design calculations, and work on real pond case studies for both municipal and industrial wastewaters.

This new course has been designed to provide the practical skills necessary to commission, manage, interpret and respond to chemical water quality monitoring data.The issues of chemical contaminants in water have rapidly escalated in importance and profile throughout the last decade. Chemicals including pesticides, dioxins, hormones, pharmaceuticals, cyanobacterial toxins and disinfection by-products have been associated with diverse environmental and public health concerns in drinking water, wastewater and environmental waters. Accordingly, it is increasingly important for water quality practitioners to possess the knowledge and skills to enable them to identify key issues associated with chemical contaminants, design monitoring programs, collect valid samples, select suitable laboratories for analysis and interpret chemical analytical data.

• Anyone needing to comply with government regulations to prepare water management plans

Learn how to perform a rigorous water audit. This is a practical course which will teach you how to prepare hydraulic diagrams for a site, calculate usage and baseflows, prepare a site water balance and calculate savings and payback periods for a range of water efficiency options.

By fully understanding the hydraulic system in a facility, steps can be taken to improve the process and then supply fit-for-use water where required in a cost effective way. Auditing is an important first step in achieving water efficiency.

Governments in most states are requiring large water users to conduct audits of their properties and this course will enable the practitioner to conduct an audit according to these requirements.
