This subject aims to develop students' understanding of the nature of pollution processes and of engineering systems for the reduction of pollution, particularly in receiving waters. Modelling, using proprietary software packages such as MUSIC, EPA SWMM, QUAL2K and MIKE11is, is undertaken in the computer laboratory and is also required in assignments.

The subject also teaches students how to develop their own application-specific, simple computer models for water quality. Pollution management systems are explained in terms of social and technical requirements, investigation techniques such as monitoring and modelling, and the rationale for design and implementation of remedial measures. Students should gain an appreciation of the integration between pollution prevention and flood protection measures. They become familiar with commonly-used procedures and aware of problems encountered in practice.

Assessment: Four assignments (25 per cent each).
