Annotation -
The subject provides an overview of the main technologies and their detailed principles used in the treatment of
surface and underground water, especially for drinking purposes. Students will learn about the basic sources and
types of water contamination, the characteristics of various water bodies and the basic processes related to water
treatment (e.g. physical – sedimentation, filtration, adsorption; chemical – coagulation, flocculation, disinfection;
biological – aerobic and anaerobic processes; advanced – reverse osmosis, ion exchangers, UV, membranes;
innovative – nanotechnology, electrocoagulation).

Part of the course is a one-day excursion to a selected drinking water treatment plant. The excursion involves the student's financial costs for transportation, estimated at max. 800 CZK (in the case of ordering our own bus), however, the prerequisite is a visit to the treatment plant within driving distance from Prague using public transport (costs 200 - 250 CZK).
