This course introduces students to source water challenges and issues as well as impacts on water quality and quantity due to climate change. Students study how ground and surface source waters and their catchment areas can face threats and vulnerabilities that impact water safety and sustainability. Students learn to characterize source waters, delineate protection areas, and identify water quality and quantity hazards and vulnerabilities. Using this data, students develop risk assessments and response plans to mitigate hazards through water system design, operations, and watershed management. Prerequisites: WTTP 2710 and WTTP 2720 and WTTP 2730 and WTTP 2740 and WTTP 2760 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2840 or WTTP 2841.
