Water quality is important to everyone, but professionals in many
disciplines need an understanding of this subject. Although water
quality is complex, its general aspects can be grasped readily and
with little background - only introductory chemistry and biology
and a little algebra are needed. Unfortunately, the teaching of
water quality is not well organized. In most colleges and
universities, water quality instruction is given in certain
engineering curricula and in aquatic ecology or fisheries
curricula. There also is brief attention to selected topics on
water quality in numerous classes in other curricula. Water quality
training in engineering is highly specialized and directed by
necessity towards water supply and water treatment, while the focus
in aquatic ecology and fisheries is on biological water quality and
pollution. Few students venture into specialized classes outside of
their curricula, and as a result, their formal training in water
quality is greatly restricted. Self-education by reading texts and
reference books on water quality is difficult. Authors of water
quality books seem to be more interested in presenting a rigorous,
detailed treatment than in focusing on simplicity and clarity.
Chemical aspects of water quality often are presented at a level
requiring fairly advanced mathematics and physical chemistry, and
biological discussions may be quite advanced and theoretical. I
have taught water quality to seniors and graduate students in
agriculture, wildlife and fisheries, environmental sciences,
economics, and similar disciplines for many years.
