Source and Receiving Environments

Thursday, April 11th, 2019

Canad Inns, Portage la Prairie

This one-day workshop will help operators understand the aquatic environment, related legislation, effect of nutrients, health implications and monitoring, management and planning protection of source waters as well as wastewater discharge effects on the receiving water bodies.

Increasing demand, diversity of uses, and cumulative effects on our water resources makes water quality in the environment a focus for water treatment operators. Compliance monitoring of source and receiving environments is becoming better regulated and more responsibility is being placed on water treatment operators to meet in-stream water quality targets for watershed protection. This course will assist Operators to improve understanding of both source waters and the receiving environment in terms of monitoring requirements and water quality data interpretation.

The Course covers the following topics:

a.       Legislation, Regulation & Codes of Practice (federal and provincial)

b.      Integrated Watershed Management Planning

c.       How Source waters can affect treatment

d.      Protection of groundwater sources

e.      Nutrients and algae/cyanobacteria blooms (microcystin risks)

f.        Understanding Cryptosporidium & giardia risks

g.       Compliance monitoring

h.      Mixing zones & Toxicity Tests

i.        Storm Ponds
