Good insight into the most central water pollution problems and factors such as diffuse pollution, eutrophication, acidification and hazardous substances and a bit about countermeasures against these. Understand important models in the mentioned fields and have knowledge of the natural variation in water quality with emphasis on the hydrological reasons and the uncertainties in the measured and estimated effects of pollution sources that is caused by this and also knowledge of measures that may be taken.
