"Water is the Earths most precious resource. This course introduces students interested in sustainable international development and global issues to one of the major challenges we face today: how to provide safe drinking water to 1 billion people and adequate sanitation to 2.6 billion people who currently lack these basic services? Students will learn the fundamentals of water quality, water borne diseases, and the basic principles of water and wastewater treatment. Our focus will be on how to select appropriate and sustainable technologies for water and sanitation in developing countries."Learning about water rights and the fight for clean water WHILE traveling the world? Sounds like a dream come true to me!
