The treatment of wastewater is an important process that eliminates potentially harmful waste from entering our environment. When used effectively, land treatment systems can safely treat wastewater before it enters our ground water. This 1-hour interactive online course addresses operation and maintenance of the three types of land treatment systems, slow rate, overland flow, and rapid infiltration, and discusses how they differ in the rate that water is applied. All three land treatment systems use vegetation and soil percolation as methods to treat wastewater. Each type of system is used as each situation warrants.

This course may be used to prepare additional operations and maintenance manuals, providing valuable information that may be used to understand the operation and maintenance of land treatment systems. At the conclusion of this course, you will be armed with all the knowledge and skills to design basic land treatment systems and to further your study in this important field.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course you will be able to:
  • Discuss three basic land treatment systems used to treat wastewater before it enters the ground water
  • Explain what types of areas, land, and terrain are appropriate for each type of treatment system
  • Describe how wastewater is treated in slow rate land treatment systems
  • Identify the various environmental health dangers present in wastewater that present a risk to drinking water supplies
  • Recognize percolation qualities and mass constituents
  • Identify hydraulic loading rates
  • Discuss frequency of monitoring sites for Nitrogen and Phosphorous
  • Explain how chemicals are used to suppress odors in storage ponds
