Civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of structures and systems related to the built environment. Water and waste water engineering is a subfield of civil engineering that focuses on the management and treatment of water and wastewater.

The goal of water and wastewater engineering is to ensure the safe and efficient management of water resources, from protecting water sources from pollution to providing safe and effective waste water treatment systems. The most important part of water and wastewater engineering is the understanding of the laws that govern water and the processes necessary for its treatment and management.
The most
important part of water and wastewater engineering is the design of systems that can collect, store, and treat water and wastewater. This includes designing pipelines, pumps, and other infrastructure for the collection and distribution of water, as well as wastewater treatment plants and systems. Water and wastewater engineers must also be familiar with storm water management systems, such as detention ponds and other measures to reduce storm water runoff and protect water resources.

In addition to designing these systems, water and wastewater engineers must ensure that they are constructed properly and are operated and maintained efficiently. This includes monitoring and evaluating the performance of systems and making necessary improvements.

Water and wastewater engineering is an important field of engineering that plays a vital role in protecting the environment and public health. By designing and implementing systems to collect, store, and treat water and wastewater, water and wastewater engineers are helping to ensure the safe and efficient management of our water resources.

Water and wastewater engineering involves a broad range of activities, including the collection, storage, and distribution of potable water, the collection and treatment of wastewater, the management of storm water, and the protection of water resources from contamination. Water and wastewater engineers must also be familiar with the regulations that govern the management of water and wastewater, as well as the principles and theories of civil engineering.

Water and wastewater engineers must be knowledgeable in a variety of areas, including hydrology, hydraulics, geology, chemistry, and engineering principles. They must be able to analyze and interpret data, develop engineering plans and designs, and present recommendations to management.

The classes were very good, beneficial, got a lot of information about water.
Told good things about water through civil engineering
Sanshia Johnson

The "Civil - Water and Wastewater Engineering" course offers a comprehensive overview of essential concepts in water treatment and wastewater management. It covers topics such as hydrology, water quality, and the design of treatment systems, providing a solid foundation for both beginners and professionals. The course is well-structured, with a balance of theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Interactive modules and real-world case studies enhance learning, making complex topics accessible. However, some users have noted that additional hands-on projects could further enrich the experience. Overall, it's a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of water and wastewater engineering.

the course on Civil - Water and Wastewater Engineering helps me to understand the basic principles, theories and methodologies of water and west water engineering its very interesting!!!
Mukul Vashishth

Very good course my all doubt has been clear And I feel confidence after doing this course.
each and every student in civil engineering or wastewater engineering must do this course.
Aniket Gosavi

The course was nice,
All the concepts are explained very neatly and clearly,
The assessment and power point presentation was also on point and punctual
Mohit

it is the best and I will learn easy and we learn various methods and various collect knowledge of treatment of waste water
Amar Patil

It is very interesting course and wastewater is recycle it then it is use full for agriculture. I learn it because iam so happy thank you for NPTEL.

The wastewater engineering class section demonstrated a commendable approach to conveying essential concepts. The instructor's clarity in explanations and the seamless integration of practical applications contributed to a solid foundation of knowledge. However, the inclusion of more interactive sessions or case studies could elevate the overall learning experience, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter. While assignments effectively reinforced theoretical concepts, the incorporation of additional real-world examples would enhance practical applicability and engagement among students.
Ravikant Thakur

Water and Wastewater Engineering offers a comprehensive overview of crucial concepts in the field. It adeptly covers fundamental principles while delving into advanced topics, ensuring relevance to real-world challenges. The clarity of presentation and practical examples enhance understanding, while exercises encourage critical thinking. However, occasional inconsistencies in depth and organization detract slightly. Overall, it's a valuable resource for students and professionals alike, providing a solid foundation and stimulating exploration of key issues in water and wastewater management
Payal Shende

This class was excellent--where have you been all my life? The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate. This was the first time I have taken a virtual class, and I was delighted with it and look forward to coming back to ONLC for more classes in the future. I loved the fact that even though there were others attending the class from other locations, my physical space was private and quiet and very conducive to learning! Thank you.

I recently completed a waste water management course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The course delved deep into the intricacies of waste water treatment, exploring various techniques and technologies used for sustainable management
Civil Mythili

Clearly Explained. Nice videos. Videos was clear. Highly recommended and useful one. This course will be an eye opening for beginners. Useful in understanding the basic concepts of waste water and its treatment
Megha Akotkar

As I’m already studying in civil engineering this course is very much helpful for me. It helps me getting enhanced knowledge about water and waste water engineering which helps me in my field
Ritik Yadav

It is quite interesting to learn this. Got the topic to clear the concept. It was helpful to understand the water and wastewater treatment plant. The methods used in this and their significance.
Sayed Salim Ahmad

It was a great learning experience. Learned new concepts and new words.
This course provided an immense knowledge and resulted to be known about the water and waste engineering
Muhammad Nasir

i get a lot of knowledge about civil engineering specailly about waste water engineering i didnot had most knowledge before taking this course
Seabelo Baba

Great, insightful course, really helped me to gain knowledge on this topic and enhance my career skills in this field of engineering
Jamal Codrington-Browne

This course was very exciting and knowledgeable . The course has opened up my eyes to how the water system and the treatment that takes place to cure the dirty water and how it is shared to ones homes.
