<p>The main objectives of the unit are to develop the knowledge & understanding, skills and attitudes associated with water and wastewater treatment systems in urban environments. To meet these objectives, there are a number of sub-objectives that need to be addressed. These are: 1. To understand elements of urban water and wastewater management systems -their functions, modes of operation, and design standards, 2. To acquire necessary skills to undertake engineering investigation and design of each of these elements, and 3. To acquire necessary skills to integrate them to form urban water and wastewater infrastructure to facilitate sustainable urbancatchmentdevelopment and water resourceutilization.</p>
