Carin Bosman (CBSS) and Nelda Smith (Pretoria University), in association with the Water Institute of South Africa (WISA), have developed a new Training Course in Water Quality Monitoring and Management.
Water Quality Monitoring is essential to ensure Good Water Governance, and the Course therefore addresses the basics of water quality monitoring, including:
the basic sciences (hydrology, geology, and chemistry) of surface and groundwater resources;
the design of a water quality monitoring programme, including monitoring locations, frequencies, and the selection of water quality monitoring variables; ;
the importance of field data collection;
the setting of limit values for various types of water resources;
the interpretation of water quality monitoring results;
the visualisation of water quality monitoring results;
communication of water quality monitoring results to non-expert stakeholders, etc.
An interactive practical session will be conducted as part of the course, during which attendees will take water samples, deliver them to the laboratory, receive the results, and interpret the results in a group setting.
