Water Quality Testing & Measurement Course
Course Price: $349
Target Learner:
Engineers, Scientists, or Technicians
Course Description:
Water Quality develops the knowledge and professional judgment required to plan, perform, evaluate, and communicate reliable physical, chemical, and biological measurements of water.
The course is organized around the decisions supported by the data rather than around individual instruments or test kits. Participants examine how water source, sampling design, preservation, environmental conditions, analytical method, calibration, quality control, uncertainty, and reporting influence the final result.
Learners explore representative characteristics such as:
- Temperature
- pH
- Conductivity
- Salinity
- Total dissolved solids
- Turbidity
- Color
- Dissolved oxygen
- Oxidation-reduction potential
- Acidity and alkalinity
- Hardness
- Residual disinfectants
- Nutrients
- Solids
- Organic content
- Metals
- Microbiological indicators
- Process-specific contaminants
The course also addresses:
- Sampling plans
- Field versus laboratory measurements
- Sample containers and preservation
- Sample custody and traceability
- Holding times
- Instrument calibration
- Method verification
- Reference materials
- Blanks, controls, spikes, and duplicates
- Detection and reporting limits
- Measurement uncertainty
- Conformity decisions
- Data integrity
- Result interpretation
The objective is not merely to teach learners how to perform water tests. It is to develop professionals capable of determining whether the complete sampling and analytical process produces evidence suitable for the intended decision.
