Introduction to Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage

It is well known that water treatment at the household level can lead to dramatic improvements in drinking water quality. But does Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS) also have global relevance? What are the potential treatment solutions and how do they function? Is there a standard strategy for successful HWTS implementation, or can we identify key components which make programs more likely to succeed? In this course you will learn about the most important water treatment methods at household level, successful implementation strategies and about assessing the impact of HWTS.

Reviews

It was a great learning on the importance of HWTS . This course has thrown significant knowledge on the potential contaminants of drinking water

I so loved this course! I would like to thank coursera for granting me an opportunity to do this course! It is awesome I recommend that institutions offering water engineering courses should adapt it!

Thank you for the opportunity, but some of the videos audio or language were not clear, either the language or the monotony of the speaker.

very useful, makes us susceptible to the ongoing and existing methods and technologies for water treatment for house with the perspective of public health.
