NRTG’s MicroCourses offer a dynamic training pathway that’s as flexible as it is enriching to build expertise. Our Construction Monitoring – Water Quality and Assessment course, spanning four hours, delivers in-depth training in an easily digestible format. It’s designed to maximize your skills for immediate application.
Discover the intricate interplay between human actions and water quality in this Construction Monitoring MicroCourse. We’ll explore how anthropogenic activities, both in and around watercourses, can create dirty water, adversely affecting aquatic ecosystems. Our focus will be on assessing these impacts stemming from construction, utilizing turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) as vital metrics. Participants will gain insights into establishing transects effectively to delineate zones of influence, tracking sediment releases’ magnitude and duration, and evaluating their impact severity on aquatic life. We’ll also delve into sampling intervals, leveraging technology, and fostering productive collaborations with contractors. Together, we’ll navigate through exceedance scenarios, equipping you with practical mitigation measures and adept reporting skills to regulatory bodies.
Course will be 4 hours long.
