Certificate Course in Water Quality and Microbial Analysis
Course Overview
Safe drinking water is essential for public health and sustainable development. Microbial contamination of water remains one of the leading causes of waterborne diseases worldwide. This certificate course introduces students to the principles of water quality assessment, microbiological examination of water, waterborne pathogens, treatment technologies, environmental monitoring, and regulatory standards. The course integrates classical microbiological techniques with modern molecular methods for water quality monitoring and environmental surveillance.
The course emphasises practical laboratory skills, field sampling techniques, microbial analysis, biosafety, and the interpretation of water quality data in accordance with national and international guidelines.
