Presentation Abstract:
The topic of this hands-on introductory workshop is on water
quality for EWB drinking water projects. This includes an overview
various parameters (e.g. metals, bacteria) and regulations/guidelines.
Participants will sample water from the nearby Muddy River and perform
E. coli analysis. The workshop is divided into two parts. On day 1 we
will cover the overview of water quality, collect samples and incubate
them. On day 2 we will evaluate the tests (i.e. count colonies) and
discuss the results. Biography: Ferdi Hellweger is an Assistant Professor in Northeastern’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering the faculty advisor of Northeastern’s EWB chapter.
