Students will gain practical skills in water sampling, field testing, and using appropriate tools and technologies to gather data in diverse environments such as rivers, dams, boreholes, and treatment plants. The course also covers protocols for handling and storing data, performing inspections, and ensuring that data integrity is maintained throughout the process. A key focus is placed on clear communication and coordination with both internal teams and external stakeholders involved in water monitoring and compliance.
Whether supporting policy enforcement, infrastructure planning, or catchment management, this course equips learners with the foundational knowledge and field-ready competencies to contribute meaningfully to sustainable water governance. It is an ideal entry point for those looking to build a career in water resource management, environmental monitoring, or regulatory support services.
