This lab focuses on the analysis and treatment of water and wastewater. It equips students with the skills to design and operate systems that ensure clean and safe water supply and manage environmental impacts. The following experiments are conducted in this lab:

• Determination of water and waste water hardness and TDS
• Determination of alkalinity and conductivity of water
• Chemical oxygen demand (COD) test
• Jar test experiment

Through the laboratory experience students can do the following:

• Develop deeper understanding of concepts.
• Experience phenomena directly.
• Connect book knowledge to real-world applications.
• Apply concepts to new situations and solve authentic problems.
• Develop thinking skills (critical, quantitative, qualitative).
• Develop data analysis skills.
• Develop experimental skills (e.g., design, observation, and use of equipment).
• Develop communication skills, including those involved in working in groups.
• Develop an appreciation for research in the field.
