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. Prerequisite: Completion of Year 1 of the Water Treatment program or Year 1 of the Water and Wastewater Certificate and Diploma program Note: Students can only get credit for one of WTTP 2840, WTTP 2841
