Wastewater treatment requirements and receiver water quality limits based on the WHO guidelines and the E.U. directives; Analysis of alternative wastewater reuse and disposal options through the use of models for assessing the irrigation water requirements, the assimilative capacities of rivers and lakes and the size or performance of submarine outfalls. Optimal design and performance simulation of selected treatment systems, with emphasis on waste stabilization ponds, constructed wetlands with surface and subsurface flows, slow rate land treatment and onsite treatment. Use of an expert system for the analysis of water pollution problems and the synthesis of an optimal dynamic (season-dependent) management schemes through simultaneous consideration of the alternative treatment, reuse for irrigation, and disposal options. Cost estimation of wastewater management projects.
