About this Unit
The unit provides advanced materials on ecological sustainability (e.g. life cycle analysis of water sensitive urban design components, water recycling and reuse and rainwater tanks), water quality modelling (stormwater pollution build up and washoff and contaminant transport in natural rivers) and wastewater treatment using traditional and new techniques. This involves application of software packages and computer programs to analyse and design a number of real world environmental engineering projects. The unit is delivered on a project-based learning mode.
