The module will provide an introduction to the global agendas and policies for water and environment. Participants will be introduced to key documents in these fields (World Water Vision, Vision21, Earth Summit on Sustainable Development, WWF-3). The concept of IWRM will be explained and illustrated by examples. In key environmental problems relevant environmental issues will be assessed in discussion with the participants. The subject of sustainable development is introduced by involving the students in four major ongoing debates in the field: (1) ‘Limits to Growth’, about resource limits and its implications for development; (2) ‘Tragedy of the Commons’, about the unwise use of public resources; (3) ‘Spread of Pollutants’, about the impacts of wastes and options for closing nutrient cycles at different scales and about the three stages of pollution prevention and control; and (4) ‘Global Trade and the Environment’, about the positive and negative impacts of global trade. Group Dynamics will provide some tools and techniques for having in-depth debates.  Water, environment and sustainable development  Methodology  Key environmental problems  Principles of sustainable development  Case study environmental problem: eutrophication  Group dynamics and discussion techniques  Fieldtrip Informace ke kombinované nebo distanční formě Rozsah konzultací (soustředění) hodin za týden Rozsah a obsahové zaměření individuálních prací studentů a způsob kontroly Studijní literatura a studijní pomůcky Cunningham and Cunningham (2009).

In hydrology the main items will be precipitation and collection of meteorological data, evaporation, soil moisture, geo-hydrology and the hydrodynamics of ecosystems. (Environmental) chemistry will first discuss electrolytes in water, solubility and redox systems. Subsequently emphasis will be given to sources and fate of micro-pollutants in water and sediments. The lectures in chemistry are supported by laboratory sessions. The subject of use and scarcity of natural resources starts with reviewing resource and scarcity concepts and mechanisms leading towards and away from scarcity. In a second part, the cases of specific resources are treated: food, wood, fish, biodiversity, water and energy. In environmental toxicology the toxic effects of pollution on human health are made visible.  Hydrology  (Environmental) chemistry  Environmental economics with special focus on use and scarcity of natural resources  Environmental toxicology

Vyučující Tom Van de Wiele Stručná anotace předmětu Environmental biotechnology is rapidly advancing, creating an ever expanding domain of applications. Several knowledge domains in biotechnology, based on mixed microbial consortia and specifically aimed at re-use, are addressed. First, treatment of water for (re)use as drinking water and sustainable use of water in aquaculture are discussed. Subsequently, anaerobic bioconversion techniques as used in direct purification of wastewater, suspensions and solid wastes such as vegetable-fruit-garden waste are studied in depth. The recovery of biogas is the cornerstone of this technology. Also microbial process technology concerning sanitation of sediments and soils contaminated with both organic as inorganic compounds is addressed. The recovery of a living soil is in this case the cornerstone. Novel technologies who are still in a research phase, such as microbial fuel cells which deliver electricity or hydrogen as a resource, are also addressed. Some specific examples of microbial re-use technologies are highlighted, such as e.g.: - Treatment of water for use/reuse as drinking water - Sustainable use of water in aquaculture - Solids digestion - Clean-up of soil and dredging sludge: Biobarrier for 1,2-DCA - Microbial fuel cell technology Exercises 1.

Emphasis is put on the exercises, most of which are on PC with statistical software. The examples and exercises are based on case studies relevant to the students work environment. In particular, examples are selected from food science, food technology, aquaculture and environmental sciences. The practicals are organised in groups. Depending on the number of students, the groups are made as homogeneous as possible in terms of the scientific interest of the students. Each group gets a different set of exercises so as to make the exercises as relevant as possible for each group. 1. Descriptive statistics (means, medians, percentiles, …) 2. Some common distributions: normal, binomial, multinomial 3. Basics of statistical inference: confidence intervals and statistical hypothesis tests 4. Statistical tests for association in contingency tables 5. Comparison of 2 means (t-test and Mann-Whitney test) 6. Comparison of k means (F-test and Kruskal-Wallis test) 7.

Vyučující C. Janssen, Karel de Schamphelaere Stručná anotace předmětu The aim of this course is to study the methods needed to examine the impact of environmental pollutants on the ecosystems and how the environmental risks of these contaminants can be assessed. This course describes the principles and potential applications of these two scientific fields in the context of environmental management. In the theoretical part of the course processes such as the fate, distribution and ecotoxicity of chemicals are discussed in detail. Quantitative techniques (models) are used to integrate these processes into risk evaluation systems. The course emphasizes the practical applicability of the theoretical concepts taught. In the practical classes, the various aspects of the theory are illustrated. The students are also asked to perform a real world case study incorporating most aspects of this course. - General introduction - Effects of chemicals on the environment - Exposure assessment of chemicals in the environment - Risk assessment of chemicals in the environment

In this course the wide application of modelling and simulation during the design and optimisation of wastewater treatment plants is taught in a concrete way. The students will be introduced to the stepwise modelling of the different unit processes in these systems and gain insight and practical experience in the model calibration, i.e. fitting industry-standard models such as the Activated Sludge Model No.1 to the reality of a specific treatment plant. A second part of the course deals with the objective evaluation of the economic benefits of the introduction of process control for nutrient removal. Not only is attention given to the process control aspects (monitoring and control equipment, tuning, ...) but also to the evaluation criteria that are needed for a holistic evaluation (effluent quality, biogas production, sludge production, energy consumption). The student learns to use the WEST modelling and simulation software for wastewater treatment systems. Worldwide it is one of the most widespread softwares for dynamic simulation of such systems
