Groundwater Remediation

High-quality fresh water is an increasingly rare and valuable commodity.  The Earth contains a finite supply of water, and the small fraction useable for drinking and other beneficial uses will continue to be heavily utilized.  Groundwater is the largest source of fresh water in the world, and many engineers and scientists need to understand the basics of groundwater for integration into their remediation or development projects.

Groundwater contamination has been a common problem at many industrial and military sites during the past several decades, frequently requiring groundwater capture and/or remediation.  This 2-hour interactive online course reviews some groundwater basics, then explores technologies for remediation, and finally discusses the knowledge required to select a treatment process and successfully remediate a site.

This course includes a multiple-choice test at the end.
