Introduction to water [Full presentation]

Unedited recording of a lecture looking at the basics of water for environmental engineering. PDF available here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358615365_Introduction_to_water Water is a particularly important resource. Before treating polluted water, this video introduces water quality characteristics, including dissolved oxygen (DO, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), solids, and more. As taught at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. #processengineering #environemtalengineering #chemicalengineering #water Selected (Harding et al) research related to this video: Phathutshedzo & Harding (2021).
