COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of this course lies in the sophisticated oversight of aquatic ecosystems through the integration of chemical, biological, and regulatory strategies. Environmental stewardship requires a transition from mere compliance monitoring to a proactive model of watershed protection and resource sustainability. This program provides the technical leadership skills necessary to manage water quality as a critical component of global ecological health and industrial responsibility.

The scope of the training encompasses the advanced assessment of diverse water matrices, including surface water, groundwater, and treated industrial effluents. It addresses the complexities of nutrient loading, emerging contaminants such as PFAS and microplastics, and the impact of climate change on water chemistry. Participants will explore the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the use of real-time sensor networks for continuous environmental surveillance.

The coverage includes detailed instruction on the design of representative sampling programs, the interpretation of toxicological data, and the application of advanced oxidation processes for water remediation. The course emphasizes the development of water safety plans and the communication of environmental risks to stakeholders and the public. By mastering these stewardship principles, participants will be equipped to protect vital water resources while ensuring the long-term viability of industrial and municipal operations.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Design comprehensive water quality monitoring programs for large watersheds.
• Evaluate the impact of point and non-point source pollution on aquatic life.
• Implement advanced strategies for the detection of emerging organic pollutants.
• Utilize GIS and remote sensing data for water quality mapping and analysis.
• Apply the principles of the "One Health" approach to water management.
• Develop mitigation strategies for eutrophication and harmful algal blooms.
• Manage the remediation of groundwater contaminated with heavy metals and VOCs.
• Interpret isotopic data to determine the age and origin of water sources.
• Execute water footprint assessments for industrial and agricultural processes.
• Negotiate and comply with international transboundary water agreements.
• Lead the implementation of Water Safety Plans (WSP) for municipalities.
• Communicate complex environmental data to policymakers and the public.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Environmental Managers, Hydrologists, Water Utility Directors, Sustainability Officers, and Regulatory Compliance Specialists.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
