U.S.-Pakistan Centers for Advanced Studies in Water About us The United States Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water (USPCAS-W) has been established at the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET) Jamshoro under the Cooperative Agreement signed with USAID on Dec. 12, 2014 for five years. The USPCAS-W at MUET is a state of the art and modern applied research center. The USPCAS-W is a world class education and applied research center dedicated to resolving Pakistan’s water crises through applied research, developing specialist human resource and technologies; academia-industry collaboration; and policy formulation. The centers will generate costeffective and sustainable solutions to Pakistan’s challenges related to water and educating the next generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers through innovative academic programs in water that are focused on applied research to solve Pakistan’s contemporary problems. The USAIDfunded Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in water at MUET is encouraging and empowering women scientists and researchers to actively participate in applied research to solve Pakistan’s contemporary problems. The USPCAS-W will receive assistance in technical issues and capacity building from U.S. Partner University (University of Utah). U.S.-Pakistan Centers for Advanced Studies in Water Five-day Workshop on Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment December-07 to December-11, 2015 Water is fundamental for the existence of life. Today, both availability and quality of water are serious global issues. Drinking water sources, both surface and groundwater, are contaminated with viral pollution, coliforms, toxic metals and pesticides in most parts of the country. Water contamination is a matter of concern for all, and especially for the people in developing countries like Pakistan. Drinking water sources are poorly managed and monitored all over the country. Various drinking water quality parameters set by WHO are frequently violated. Different studies conducted in the past by independent researchers, government and non-government organizations have all come to the same conclusion regarding the poor quality of drinking water throughout Pakistan. So, it is important to independently assess drinking water sources before use. Hence, realizing the need of time, the U.S.Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water at MUET Jamshoro with the support from collaborating institute i.e., University of Utah and funding from USAID has organized the workshop on water quality, which aims to train water & wastewater treatment professionals, chemists, students, faculty members & health professionals. Partnering Universities: Who should attend? Workshop Highlights Research students having background in environmental, biological and chemical sciences or engineering, faculty members, water practitioners and staff working in water sector and health organizations can attend this workshop. Workshop Learning Objectives After attending this workshop, the participants will be able to: Describe the different water pollutant groups, their fates, and impacts on human health. Describe and apply the different tools, criteria and assessment methods for successful surface water quality assessment and monitoring in river basins. Explain the concepts and principles of analytical techniques, such as, spectrophotometry and chromatography; trace metals and ion detection techniques in water; case studies and hands-on training. Design sustainable water quality monitoring programmes for river basins. Select the appropriate water sampling procedures; storage and preservation methods and quality control techniques for laboratories. Analyze the water quality data and demonstrate the results effectively, such as statistical techniques; using significance levels in water quality monitoring and regression analysis. Current status of Water Quality in Pakistan Hands on surface water, groundwater and coastal water sampling techniques Sample preservation and storage techniques In-situ water testing techniques Hands on laboratory based water testing techniques Registration Form Registration Fee Interested candidates should send their filled registration forms along with the demand draft/pay order of Pak Rs. 12,000 per delegate in favour of Project Director, USPCAS-W, Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro at the following address on or before 28-Nov-2015.
