On-site Watewater Management - NSW

Presented by: Centre for Environmental Training

This three day course covers all aspects of on-site wastewater systems, their design and management. The course illustrates how best practice and a wide range of emerging technologies can be used to optimise on-site wastewater management and protect public health and the environment. The course comprises illustrated lectures, practical demonstrations and exercises and a field based site evaluation and design exercise.

The course is designed for those involved in planning, design, regulation, management, installation and performance supervision of on-site and decentralised wastewater management systems.
