Wastewater Modeling Essentials

Upcoming Dates

  • Not scheduled at this time. Click the course title for program description and contact information.

This is a 10-week online course that covers the essentials of modeling wastewater treatment systems. Many in the wastewater field are familiar with various wastewater modeling softwares; however, these softwares cannot provide accurate and reliable results without a solid understanding of the modeling process. This course therefore provides a foundational understanding of the modeling process to ensure your modeling is performed correctly and that the modeling results and accurate, meaningful, and truly useful to you. This course is applicable to wastewater professionals, regardless of what wastewater modeling software they may choose to use. While the course is intended for those who will be performing the modeling work, it is also recommended for professionals who may be overseeing, reviewing, and wanting to understand modeling results. No prior modeling experience is required.
