Overview:

Designing and Planning Online Courses

Online courses require detailed planning, design, development and testing before delivery. This 6-week course covers the first steps of an online course development process: design & planning. Participants will design an online course and plan its development and implementation, interact with course participants by sharing ideas and providing feedback. An important goal is that this course can lead to further institutional initiatives in online education to increase its impact, with the support of DUPC2.

Open Source Software for Preprocessing GIS Data for Hydrological Models

picture for GIS course

For many studies models are used or developed. During modelling courses not much attention is paid to the preprocessing of input data and parameters needed for the models. A lot of open source software is available for this purpose. Besides desktop tools with graphical user interfaces, scripting is very useful for processing large datasets and timeseries. With the skills learned in this course you will be able to more efficiently process your data and setup and improve your models.

Introduction to Urban Water Distribution (the eBook)

These open educational resources are part of the online course on Water Transport and Distribution. The eBook 'Introduction to Water Distribution' elaborates on general principles and practices in water transport and distribution in a practical and straightforward way.

 

 

Faecal Sludge Management (the eBook)

book cover Faecal Sludge Management

This set gives an overview of the activities and involvement of IHE DELFT in the field of Faecal Sludge Management. Download the new eBook 'Faecal Sludge Management, systems approach for implementation and operation' below.

Faecal Sludge Management

 This course is an open course version of the Online Course on Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) run by IHE DELFT Institute for Water Education as an independent online course or as part of the Graduate Professional Diploma Programme (GPDP). In order to qualify for a certificate or 5 ECTS credit points upon the successful completion of the FSM online course, you would need to enrol for the complete version which includes additional resources, assessments and ongoing support from IHE DELFT experts on the subject. This open version does not lead to any qualifications but is a source of very useful information on FSM issues.  

Data Sharing for Water Sector Organisations using Spatial Data Infrastructures

Integrated Water Resources Management requires exchange of data and information among sectors. Often data is stored in files on harddisks, CD-ROMs or DVDs. This makes it hard to find the data. In addition, metadata is often lacking, which makes it hard to evaluate the quality of the data and to reuse the data.
 A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) can enable water sector organisations to improve the exchange of data within and among organisations. An SDI is a data infrastructure implementing a framework of geographic data, metadata, users and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way. In this course you will learn how to preprocess data before it can be stored in an SDI, style data with Styled Layer Description (SLD) files, save metadata, set user rights, manage and use a spatial database, manage an SDI and present interactive data online. The course materials are in French and in English.

Biological Wastewater Treatment: Principles, Modelling and Design

Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment has advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a fundamentally-based ‘first principles’ approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, mathematics, physical and bioprocess engineering. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation by computers.

Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

Constructed wetlands are very important for developing countries for wastewater treatment. They are simple, and easy to design and maintain. Please enter the bridge and discover more about our open educational resources, our online course, and our three weeks short course.

 

Water Quality Assessment

These open educational resources are part of the online course on Water Quality Assessment. This course will first introduce you to IHE DELFT and to the teachers of this module. After that we will review the contents of the module. Finally, we will introduce you to the world of Water and Water Quality, with some general information about “Water and Life” and “Sustainable Use of Water”. Time Framework for the Course: 1-2 Weeks.

Benchmarking for Improved Water Utility Perfomance

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of theory and experience in the benchmarking of water and sanitation services for the purpose of improving performance. The module draws on academic applied research and benchmarking practices worldwide.

Governance of Decentralized Sanitation

This course provides the tools to analyse policy and management challenges of decentralized (peri-)urban sanitation services, and to select and apply instruments and management approaches to address these challenges.

Industrial Resource Management and Cleaner Production

Cover page

This OpenCourseWare is directed to chemical and environmental engineers and scientists working in the urban or industrial water field and wanting to have a better grasp at the efficient dealing with water. For instance, this course will be of interest to participants who would like to get insights into cleaner production practices in process industries with emphasis in the fields of urban, municipal and industrial sanitation, resource recovery, process design and implementation.
