This course provides an in-depth overview and insight into
drinking water quality, water treatment and sustainable water
safety planning & management. The following is discussed in
detail:
- The need for treating water for drinking purposes and related health and aesthetic requirements
- SANS 241:2015 water quality guidelines and other water quality guidelines in use in South Africa
- A discussion on, and properties of, the most important contaminants to be removed from water to achieve potable standards
- The potential water sources we could utilize for drinking water supply
- An exhaustive discussion of the possible treatment processes used for the treatment of each of these water sources to potable standards
- Guidelines on the selection of suitable processes or process trains to treat each of these sources to potable water standards
- An overview of the Blue Drop auditing system for water quality monitoring
- An overview of water safety planning and detailed guidelines, with example, on the compilation of a Municipal Water Safety Plan
Objectives & outcomes of the course:
- Understanding the need for water quality and treatment
- A knowledge of the various water sources available for purifying a source water to drinking water quality
- An understanding of the water quality parameters of these water sources preventing the safe drinking of water
- A knowledge & understanding of the various processes required to treat these sources to a potable water quality
- An understanding of the Blue Drop auditing system to assess water quality and the efficiency of the supply of a safe water to communities
- Knowledge and understanding of Water Safety Planning – from catchment to the furthest consumer
- The ability to compile a Water Safety Plan to ensure the constant supply of a safe water to all members of a community

Facilitated by: GARY BROWN, qualified with a Masters Diploma in Technology: Civil Engineering – Water received from the Tshwane University of Technology in water sector by offering various associated services focused around mine water management and water and wastewater treatment works design, performance, compliance, troubleshooting, and integration of technologies to improve on existing and new infrastructure performances.
Interaction with mining engineers soon developed into more of a niche area and Gary has since been privileged to present short training courses on “Water, Sewage, and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Principles and Practices and Water Quality Management” across various destinations and with service providers located in Australia, Dubai, Malaysia, Pakistan, and South Africa. The content of some of the courses and Gary as the facilitator, by the South African Asset Management Association with 2 - 3 CPD points, dependent on the duration of the course.
