Course Description This course presents an in-depth analysis of issues relating to water, sanitation and hygiene in both the developed and developing worlds. Students will become familiar with the hydrologic cycle, the major causes of enteric morbidity and mortality, and the design, financing and implementation of sanitation systems. This course is designed for both engineering and public health students and is intended to foster dialog between the two communities. Class meets once per week for 3 hours, and consists of lecture, discussion of assigned reading, break-out work and student presentations. Student requirements include assigned readings, in-class participation in break-out work, group presentations and a final term paper. Each student will be assigned a break-out group that will work together both during and outside class on a variety of water and sanitation problems. Each group will pick two cities, one in the developed world and one in the developing world, on which they will focus their efforts throughout the term.
