This unit will cover important topics in modern water engineering and the water industry, including water and wastewater treatment, water supply and distribution, water quality, and aspects of water management in both developed and developing countries. It is largely a revised version of a popular optional unit, Water Management 3, with a few lectures taken from the former core unit Hydraulics 3. Water Management 3 ran for about ten years and was very well received by the students, many of whom commented that it should be made core. The new unit will be taught by a team of people including practising engineers, thus combining theory and practice in a way which the students find very interesting. The assessment will include a review report, done in pairs, on a topic of the students' own choice, which allows each student to pursue their particular interests in more depth outside the classroom. The coursework has been retained, in a modified form, because the students found it a particularly valuable part of the unit.
