The treatment of wastewater is an important process that eliminates potentially harmful waste from entering our environment. When used effectively, land treatment systems can safely treat wastewater before it enters our ground water. This 1-hour interactive online course addresses operation and maintenance of the three types of land treatment systems, slow rate, overland flow, and rapid infiltration, and discusses how they differ in the rate that water is applied. All three land treatment systems use vegetation and soil percolation as methods to treat wastewater. Each type of system is used as each situation warrants.

This course may be used to prepare additional operations and maintenance manuals, providing valuable information that may be used to understand the operation and maintenance of land treatment systems. At the conclusion of this course, you will be armed with all the knowledge and skills to design basic land treatment systems and to further your study in this important field.
